Manage Apache Download Speed And Traffic Limits With mod_cband (HowtoForge)

[Posted June 1, 2006 by cook]

Falko Timme shows how to throttle Apache2 bandwidth with mod_cband in a HowtoForge article. "In this tutorial I will describe how to install and configure mod_cband on an Apache2 web server. mod_cband is an Apache 2 module which provides bandwidth quota and throttling. It solves the problem of limiting users' and virtualhosts' bandwidth usage. The current version can set virtualhosts' and users' bandwidth quotas, maximal download speed, requests-per-second speed and the maximal number of simultanous IP connections."

I wish I could do the same with iptables: giving an outside access quota to all the machines on my network. I know it's a bit off-topic here, but does anyone know?
