LARTC - Jan 2004 - Help with a simple config

Here''s the scenario:
- 4 NIC''s; 1 Upstream, 3 subscribers each with different rates.

NIC-1: NO CAP simply 100mbit
I want to cap the traffic on each of the subscriber NIC''s to a specific
rate
i.e.:
    - NIC-2: 8mbit
    - NIC-3: 5mbit
    - NIC-4: 3mbit

Just to summarize, ALL I''m trying to do is limit the bandwidth on each
NIC
(ingress & egress) whether it is 10/100/1000Base-T. Right now I am using a
Cisco using rate-limiting which is very simple. I''d like to perform
this
task on Linux box for easier scalibility and as a backup.

Thanks for your assistance!

Outgoing traffic can be limited if you add a tbf qdisc to the devices.  
Incoming traffic can be limited with the ingress qdisc and a filter + 
policer.
