About:
Linux Bandwidth Arbitrator allows beginning-to-advanced network administrators to control bandwidth. It is designed to be completely turn-key in its default configuration. You just plug it into your network trunk, and it self configures and immediately starts slowing "bandwidth hogs". It can be configured to target specific applications such as Kazaa, IMAP, and POP. It is compatible with the 2.4.25 kernel, ebtables, and brouter (bridging router). It also comes with denial of service protection.

[»] GPL? where?

Surely interesting, but on website there's no mention about a free or GPL version, even for testing... or I'm blind?

If you look under downloads on the left hand side there is a link to download the GPL version.

Not anymore. It looks like they might have pulled the GPL version. The only thing I can find is an order form for a CD.

[»] Great project
by Shaman - Aug 6th 2003 11:11:31

This is what open source projects are all about. This is a
really useful project, and the semi-commercial version is
very interesting. Kudos.
