Bandwith Utility

I was wondering if a utility that can manage bandwith exist. For example, I would always like to have 25kb/s reserved for the HLDS no matter how much other apps are requesting bandwith.

    The concept you are describing is called packet shaping. Here's everything free in the matter at sourceforge.

    <a href='http://sourceforge.net/search/' target='_blank'>http://sourceforge.net/search/</a>

    for search, type 'packet shaper'. You'll get hits for a few dozen different products. All of typically varying sourceforge quality <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> .

    The dummynet traffic shaper, part of FreeBSD's ipfw firewall. ipf probably has something similar, but I'm not well versed in ipf.

    Fair point.

    You could always just drop $3000 on a nice <a href='http://www.shaperworks.com/PacketShaper.asp' target='_blank'>Packeteer</a> though <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I got 1 hit. Ironically a utility for a Packeteer's PacketShaper...

    <a href='http://freshmeat.net' target='_blank'>freshmeat</a> is a good place to look for *nix software.

    <a href='http://lartc.org/wondershaper/' target='_blank'>wondershaper</a> and the <a href='http://www.bandwidtharbitrator.com/' target='_blank'>Linux bandwidth Arbitrator</a> look like they're worth a look as I expect you want to prioritise half-life traffic instead of just reserving space for it.
