<br>I recommend (so I haven't done it cos I have no needs up now) use FreeBSD to do that.<br>Bridging in BSD has more sense than do it in a Linux box.<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Can anyone give me some guidelines where to begin, how to limit/shape<br>p2p traffic on that vlan. Is it even doable?? Any example<br>htb/etables/iptables configuration script will also help. :)</blockquote><div><br>It's totally possible, you can use any script found via google or any of that are travelling in this mail list.
