Dear list, would it be possible to limit the network bandwith of specific processes? I'm looking for an effect similar to what nice does for processor usage. The reason I ask this, is that I have some machines on a low capacity network, and sometimes one or a few large file transfers monopolize all bandwith, resulting in DoS for other services (ssh for example becomes unusable because of teh long delay in betwee a key press and the shell displaying the character that was typed). What I would like to do is reduce the bandwith consumed by these file transfers so that at other network traffic like ssh will continue to work properly. Does anybody have an idea? Thanks! Yuri. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- drs.
