	The Linux kernel has a feature called the "traffic shaper"
	which can limit outbound bandwidth utilization for specific
	interfaces and sub-interfaces (IP aliases).

	I've referred to it a couple times in my Linux Gazette
	"Answer Guy" column --- so you could search for those 
	notes at http://www.linuxgazette.com.  You could also 
	read it in the kernel's own source tree in:

	/usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/shaper.txt
