To limit your network traffic bandwidth

If you need to limit your network traffic bandwidth.
You need to install iproute-2.6.27-2.fc10.i386 in Fedora .
The original script is from
http://www.torrentflux.com/forum/index.php?topic=2743.0

To use it you need to have root privileged.
E.g.
$ sudo sh tc.sh upload

=======
#!/bin/bash
#
# Created by Discovery for PSA
# Modified by Mige Harimurti
#
# Name of the traffic control command.
TC=/sbin/tc

# The network interface we're planning on limiting bandwidth.
IF=eth0 # Interface

# Download limit (in mega bits)
DNLD=1000mbps # DOWNLOAD Limit
#DNLD=10kbps # DOWNLOAD Limit

# IP address of the machine we are limiting the uploads on.
# IP=192.168.1.101 # Host IP

# Filter options for limiting the intended interface.
# U32="$TC filter add dev $IF protocol ip parent 1:0 prio 1 u32"

start() {

# We'll use Hierarchical Token Bucket (HTB) to shape bandwidth.
# For detailed configuration options, please consult Linux man
# page.
