thanks for the info folks
]]>tc is more for traffic control between source and destination of packets going over the same link, or dynamic stuff. However, it will never be as trusted as a link set to a slower bit rate, and can be a pain to manage/T-Shoot.
Over the WAN traffic control is normally done with switching protocols like ATM and MPLS. However, even on large networks clients may be rate limited by the network admin simply setting the speed of their link slower in the configuration then what it can really handle.
]]>That sounds like an ideal solution to me. Setting the bit rate of the wireless interface as a method of restricting bandwidth usage is exactly what I would do with that setup.
]]>i'd still be curious if the current way i am doing this is particularly "bad" in any way, though.
