Theoretically you should be able to setup a SUSE box as a bridge and then use CBQ or some other mechanism to regulate bandwidth. I've only done this with FreeBSD using dummynet for bandwdith control and it was a breeze to setup using the docs from their handbook. However I have used CBQ on linux to control bandwidth.

Hi there, thank you for yur hint. I have looked at http://bridge.sourceforge.net downloaded the bridge-utils-rpm and try to configure a bridge with brctl which is very easy ;-) Stupidly the kernel hangs after ifconfig mybridge up and sending the first frames :-( I think I will wait now for SuSE 9.1 with kernel 2.6.x. FOrtunately I'm not in that hurry ;-) Then I will also try shorewall an if there is time free-bsd would be another option (don't beat me for that is a SuSE list and not a bsd list ;-) I thank all for there help guido
