advanced bandwidth limiting

Nope. This method escapes the "keep-state" trap, which runs the traffic
through twice, one up, and once down.  That is not desireable, since it
will limit a packet on the in recv, and out xmit stages.  I just use
explicit route definitions, to avoid this bottleneck, because it will
give the enduser half of the specified bandwidth, or in the worst case,
I have seen it devided by four.

Hope this helps.
