Yes, with Linux kernel >= 2.2.x there is possible to:
* Throttle bandwidth for certain computers
* Throttle bandwidth to certain computers
* Help you to fairly share your bandwidth
* Protect your network from DoS attacks
* Protect the internet from your customers
* Multiplex several servers as one, for load balancing or enhanced availability
* Restrict access to your computers
* Limit access of your users to other hosts
