This depends a lot on your network configuration.  If your segments are connected to a router that feeds into the firewall you can use the QOS features of the router to the limit bandwidth utilization of packets going out the interface to the firewall.

Hi
i'm new here and i have a question (and poor english :)

we have medium size network behind firewall and i want to
control/limit bandwidth for some subnets.
(ie. we have 512kb/s and .1.0 gets 30%, .2.0 gets 40%, .4.0 gets 31% ;)  
Do I need special software ( for Linux ) or I can do it in firewall ?
(in Linux, please :)

thanks for your help
