[ilugd]: Router leaky bucket algorithm

[Kapil Sethi]

Hi,   I want to use my RHL 6.2 or 7.3 (any of the two) as a router with two lan cards.   I want that each internal client ( with one IP) should be able to use only x kbps of IP bandwith.   From my networking books, I read that such algorithm is called Leaky bucket algorithm if we allow one line to use an average of x kbps of ip bandwidth.   From the Linux Howtos I could only find info on how to use squid for this purpose i.e.  by use of delay pools. However squid can only be used for HTTP or FTP traffice, while I want to have the effect for complete traffic.   Please suggest.   Thanks   Kapil
