Dear Friends,
Here is my scenario, We have about 7 Machines, which share the 1
MBps Internet from a wireless router. If any downloading is going on in any
of the system via (bit-torrent or http). the http requests of all other
systems goes down to dead. Is there any FOSS tools to monitor the traffic
for the entire network and to control manually or automatically to share the
available bandwith eqaully for all the systems and also to allocate the
predifined bandwith to a particular machine. If there is any provision to
control the traffic based on protocol it will be very useful.
Search for 'linux traffic control', 'linux QoS' or 'linux bandwidth shaping'.
The most popular reference is:

However, note that this document is /huge/ and goes into a lot of detail. You
might be able to find shorter tutorial which offer a step-by-step guide to
introduce you to the task. For example:
