LARTC - Aug 2003 - packet rate limiting

Hi,

I''m currently looking for a QoS extension that allows to limit the
packet
rate to a given value. As I''m using HTB at the moment bandwidth
limiting works
pretty well but packet rate limiting would be superb.

I do traffic shaping on a firewalling bridge (2.4.21) using iptables mark
and HTB. Any suggestions would be appriciated!

Regards,
Mike

You can limit packet rate with iptables and module limit
But this solution is very bad for CPU
