Never used rshaper but I have used the Linux Traffic Shapper which uses a
Serial Link (not sure if this is the same thing as rshaper just renamed..??)

It worked for me but was years ago..

Hi All,

The phb's have blessed me with the task of working how to simulate a
256k/512k 
connection between two servers. In that latter stages of the project, one 
server will placed in a server farm with a 256k (eventually upgarded to
512k) 
connection. Hence they need a proof of concept that there won't be problems 
with data transfer restricted to 512k.

I know there is hardware that can do this but I wondered if a linux box
could 
be used instead (and show to certain management types that Linux is
wonderful). 

I've found rshaper which may do what I want it do. I have a Linux box doing 
nothing with two NICs installed. My theory is using rshaper on one NIC
(which 
would be connected to the server that would be at 512k in real life) I can
give 
them what they want. 

Has anyone used rshaper and if so, would my scenario work? 

Cheers,

Shaun
