That patch appears to have nothing to do with bandwidth limiting (data rate). It instead limits the amount of data (data size) that can be transferred in a single connection. I would love to see a per flow limit. ie. port 80 can eat 1Mbit, but each stream is guaranteed 128Kbit (a little extreme maybe ;)) and can share the whole 1Mbit. Or even a fair sharing queue where all flows in a queue get equal share (that could get understandably ugly). I'd be quite happy with the former :) --Bill
