8.6. Traffic Shaping
|
||
|
||
The traffic shaper is a virtual network device that makes it possible
|
||
to limit the rate of outgoing data flow over another network device.
|
||
This is especially useful in scenarios such as ISPs, where it is
|
||
desirable to control and enforce policies regarding how much bandwidth
|
||
is used by each client. Another alternative (for web services only)
|
||
may be certain Apache modules which restrict the number of IP
|
||
connections by client or the bandwidth used.

||
Traffic control encompasses the sets of mechanisms and operations by which
|
||
packets are queued for transmission/reception on a network interface. The
|
||
operations include enqueuing, policing, classifying, scheduling, shaping and
|
||
dropping. This HOWTO provides an introduction and overview of the
|
||
capabilities and implementation of traffic control under Linux.
