Firstly there's no 802.11b network on this planet through putting 11Mb over the air interface. Still, whatever the 'real world' throughput there is often a desire to manage it as opposed to leaving it wide open.
In a commercial environment it is prudent to meter the bandwidth, especially when you have a finite amount of it, and one kiddie on Kazaa can suck the life out of it and ruin it for everyone else. Paying customers demand and expect a certain level of service.
If you aren't a Linux hacker, then there are black boxes that will do it,
they cost a few bucks. A good example is the YDI bandwidth Control Unit,
they take all the programming out of the equation and give you a nice user
interface. If Joe only wants to pay for 128k up/downstream then that's all
Joe gets etc. http://www.ydi.com/products/bcu.php
