Sure, here's a long and very detailed introductory tutorial I liked a lot:

Right, QoS is about prioritizing packets so that certain streams see a better
pipe. It does not however traffic shape. That would require a bit more effort
and some work like in the linux kernel.

Related to the original question,
Has anyone seen a good online tutorial for configuring QoS to reduce
bandwidth use? Just curious.
QoS seems to be focused on ensuring good bandwidth availability, not
limiting it, but that is just
my novice perspective talking.

I found that the Zonet router I am using (no longer made) has a
'bandwidth' option, where it will limit bandwidth to particular IP
addresses, and even on DHCP, you can bind an ether address to a
particular DHCP IP adresse, giving a 'fixed' address to equipment.
Anyway, the bandwidth limiting optio
Do you need to limit the bandwidth to a particular amount that might
coincide with Ethernet speed? For example, could you force a network
interface card or port on a switch to run at 100 mbps or 10 mbps, thereby
limiting consumption to the speed of the interface?
This isn't ideal, but another off
TCP is designed to deal with this natively, and you can significantly
influence how it acts if you understand the algorithm and control a point
in the middle, especially if you control at least one end of the bottleneck.
UDP presents a challenge if the bottleneck is above you inbound.

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
Look for a QoS setting

What router do you have?

Depends on what we're working with. Personally, I've not found many
consumer grade home routers that do per-device bandwidth control. However,
I'm sure it can be done with a DIY Linux router. Maybe iptables + tc or
something like that? Also pfSense has this capability as well. Then, of

I have a couple of devices that suck bandwidth, but I want to use them.
They have no way of limiting the bandwidth on the device itself, and I
can't figure out how to limit the bandwidth on my wifi router to just a few
devices.
Is there a way to limit bandwidth allowed to the devices?
