Constricting broadband traffic on a PC on a LAN

quarryman · 2006-12-07 21:16:07

I'd like to constrict how much bandwidth a PC has on the LAN from Broadband. I need to do this either from my PC or the router, is this possible?

What router - I'm sure some of the bigger cisco's can do this but not commonly found at home.

What OS ?
linux/bsd pc's have plenty of traffic shaping utils as part of the OS, windows doesn't

squid/squidnt can limit bandwidth but messy to set it up for one PC
