Greetings,
Scenario: Centos box with eth1 (10.0.0.0/24) and eth0 (192.168.0.0/24) segment on eth0 has access to full bandwidth of uplink Both are on 100mbps switches
Requirements: bandwith on segment on eth1 needs to be throttled to different speeds - say 32, 64, 128kbps and the such. Required for application performance testing purposes.
The best tool I have found for this is DummyNet, which is built into FreeBSD. It was created to test protocol designs then adapted for traffic management. However, I am not aware of any ports into Linux.
