Re: Rate limiting with "tc"?

WOW. Thanks, guys. You've given me lots to chew on. As for not
being able to throttle in-bound connections, I had that realization
while taking a walk today. But then I asked myself: couldn't you just
slow down ACKs to the remote host? Or does the fact that TCP can re-
order out-of-sequence packets make that moot?

The fact that prioritizing ACKs on their way to the remote host speeds up
downloads lets me guess that it is also possible to do it the other way -
de-prioritizing ACKs should slow down a TCP-connection.
Then the main reason for me to use bandwith management was in fact that I
wanted to speed up my downloads while still sending eMail at maximum speed.
