    I want to limit the speed at which my linux box will upload to the
    cable modem, since, above a certain rate, this slows everything down.
    On the other hand, I want it to work as fast as possible when
    streaming to the internal network. One card connects to both -- ie to
    the router, which connects to the cable modem and to everything else
    on the network.

    POking around on Google tells me there is a "tc" command, which will
    slow down all traffic on an interface. But I can't work out if I can
    tell it to slow down only external traffic, and the documentaiton
    presumes a level of competence and knowledge far beyond me.
