Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Is there a straightforward way to make my Gentoo box 'play fair' and
not hog 100% of the bandwidth?
If your router doesn't give you bandwidth and/or traffic shaping
control, you can drop some packets. For example, the following rule
will accept up to 50 packets per second and drop the rest. The TCP
protocol will retry and slow down.
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m limit --limit 50/sec -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -j DROP
Does anyone else have this problem?
Yes, everyone using TCP :)
You can read Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control for more info
(http://lartc.org/).
