CentOS - May 2012 - Limiting network traffic from different IPs.

Hi all.

I have a router with 5 network interfaces and sometimes there is so much
traffic on one of them that the server load is very high.
What are the options to limit the traffic per IP address on every
interface? Which need least system (CPU, memory) resources?

Thanks.

Best regards,
Rafal.

maybe using tc would be of help for you; there are a bunch of nice how
to's on the net, e.g.:
