[OT] Network Bandwidth Limiting

["Keith Doxey" <ukha@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I know this has been asked before but I cant remember what the
solution was.

I urgently need to limit a network connection the a maximun
throughput of 1Mbit.

Is there an easily configurable piece of freeware or shareware (with
trial period) that will allow me to do this. Windows preferred but at
a push could be Linux.

What are the hardware requirements? presumably almost any PC but with
2 network cards as we want to fit this into a network to simulate a
limited bandwidth connection between two sites.

Thanks

Keith
