Hi,

I am in discussion with a customer, who is using a DSL line to connect a 
VPN/RDP session.
I want to emulate a DSL line at the office, and in such, using monowall 
(or pfSense) between a testserver and workstations.

But, I don't want it to be a router, for comprehending better... I just 
want to be able to put the monowall in between, so it'll limit the speed...

I just want to be able to limit the flow on a network cable (without 
using third-party software like netlimiter)...
That way I can be sure, that nothing passes any faster than 4mbit down 
or 384kbit up.

Kind regards,
Michel
