LARTC - May 2002 - How to reduce a bandwidth?

I''m not sure it can be done just with iptables, but it''s
trivial from a
QoS standpoint.

hi, I just want to know if somebody can help me to reduce a bandwith
with iptables.
 
I Have this configuration  Box is a Gateway
etho 148.245.89.1 External Network 
eth1 192.168.1.1 Internal Network DHCP server
 
I want to reduce all the internal network traffic to a specific bandwidth
example : 5kbps
 
All Network Cards are 10/100mbps
 
thanks!

The Iptables byte-limit patch should be able do it.

Traffic to where?  To the internet?  To the LAN?  To the Gateway?

Have you read the LARTC howto?  Also, on www.docum.org are some example 
scripts you can use.  Either HTB or CBQ.  Or even a root TBF qdisc.  Maybe 
you can post your script (if you already tried to create one).
