Traffic Shaper

[Tyler Hall]

I was actually in the same boat the other day, and I came across a program
called rshaper on freshmeat.net,  not sure if it works, or anything but it
looked interesting.

I decided to go with FreeBSD, and use there ipfw command for my "Traffic
Shaper" needs.   It works wonders.  :)
