See http://www.shorewall.org/traffic_shaping.htm#perIP. Note that if you want to limit downloads per local client, then you must configure complex egress traffic shaping on your local interface. Note also that I have not personally tested this on IPv6. I personally object to this method of traffic control, and prefer instead to try to insure fairness among the clients that are _currently_ using the Internet link. It seems silly to not be able to use all of the available bandwidth when there are only a few active clients (and it is hard to explain to management why you chose to limit usage that way). -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather who Shoreline, \ died peacefully in his sleep.
