Last time I looked at this problem, there are a couple ways to deal with it.
On linux, you can drop packets from a device into a bucket, and then prioritize the buckets. This will give the bandwidth hogs all the bandwidth that is left over after all other traffic is handled. Of course you can only reliably handle outbound traffic. If the devices are media, and therefore consuming inbound traffic, it would be harder. You would have to try and drop a certain amount of traffic to slow the other side. ----- Original Message ----- > I have a couple of devices that suck bandwidth, but I want to use > them.
