    Is there a Netlimiter similar free softwer?

    Hi guys. I am looking for a free softwer that would allow me controll net traffic on my Suse 10.2. For windows there is a program named Netlimiter with which you can omit access to internet for all installed programs. Is there somethig similar available for suse 10.2. Thanx for help.

    Thanx for answer, but that just isn't what I need. I don't want to block specific ports or block access to internet for some applications. I need to limit the amount of traffic(sent or received packets) for some applications. Thanx for further help.

    I just came accross this article a couple of days ago - Gentoo Forums :: View topic - HOWTO: Bandwidth limiting

    Looks like it's what you want. Should give you some idea what to look for on suse.
