Other than that, you probably would need to think about stuff like iproute2 with tcng... do a search on packages.gentoo.org for traffic control or packet shaping. some programs have rate limiting built in. You mentioned http traffic - if you are downloading large files you can use wget --limit-rate=10k http://big.server/large/file/you.want Hard to see how you would max out a connection with ssh unless you are transferring files via scp. This too has a rate limiter -l limit Limits the used bandwidth, specified in Kbit/s. (I didn't know that until i just looked it up!) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
