They have. Many Linux appliances come with a 'Linux Wonder Shaper' http://lartc.org/wondershaper/ or an equivalent. In general, the Linux packet shaping infrastructure is overly powerful, if very weakly documented - despite the LARTC efforts. I do have to add that shaping is rarely an exact science, and that achieving very high accuracies may prove impossible on general (timer interrupt based) hardware & operating systems. Stochastic results will be good however. Bert -- http://www.PowerDNS.com Open source, database driven DNS Software http://netherlabs.nl Open and Closed source services
