[H-GEN] Limit adsl bandwidth

Hi All,

I have a problem with a user using up all the adsl
bandwidth and using the monthly quota and essentially
bringing the connection to a slow crawl.

I have been looking into bandwidth limiting and
everyone seems to talk about using squid and using
delay pools. I believe that this method would not stop
peer 2 peer programs and I don't really want to use a
proxy if I can get away with it.

Is it possible to use iptables or some other solution
to limit bandwidth to a particular ip or mac address
and only to ports above 1024?

If so can you point me to any relevant docs.


Kind Regards,
Anthony Irwin
