Hi all,
I've been searching the last days for a tool to limit the bandwidth per application. I found the perfect tool for it: trickle, but it doesn't work (I tested it with firefox and chrome but they didn't obey the limit and I think the problem is that they don't use dynamically linked libs and trickle doesn't work for statically linked apps). I found some other tools but they don't limit per application (only per user or network interface).
Does someone knows any other tools like trickle (easy too use and able to limit bandwidth per application) but for all applications?

Thanks


EDIT: using Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) 32 bit

Take a look at smoothwall (www.smoothwall.org)
It is a firewall distro that contains a QOS traffic shaping component.

thanks, seems a bit more complex, I'll try it over the weekend.
