This script is what I was looking for quite a some time. Manyatimes I came across need to limit bandwidth on Linux box. This script is one of the best & easy to use if you wish to control upload / download speed for ethernet. This may be useful for developers to test their applications on low bandwidth network. one of the easiest tool to stimulate low bandwidth network.
