My own input on this:
Apart from above I tried looking some options like below:
-> Network computing published an article about Bandwidth management tools and showed
some
results:
http://www.nwc.com/1111/1111f27.html
->Linux kernel 2.x supports bandwidth management and QoS. Interested people may want to
look at that too. If they are ready to pass their traffic through Linux box. I haven't
looked into this deeply.
http://lwn.net/1998/1119/shaper.html
->If you are trying to control, bandwidth for your Web server, based on Directory,
<VirtualServer>, then I would say investigate on mod_bandwidth (Apache module). This
work very neat and I could control download speed down to very minimum and can
comfortably
type on remote server using 56Kbps modem line, while downloading stuff from
mod_bandwidth
controlled web server.
Since this is module, it may or may not be effective if you are already using other
apache
modules. Like this module doesn't care about cgi-bin area, that is handled by mod_cgi.
But
it is worth giving try.

-> Older version is mod_throttle , but development has been left on that while ago, so
not
very useful I would say. But read who developed this and why ??
