Submission + - Traffic shaping at home
kramer2718 writes: "I'm running into a difficulty with my roommate. We share an internet connection and he uses P2P a lot. So much in fact that it dramatically affects the latency and bandwidth with which I can surf the web (and don't get me started on remote X sessions). I would like to continue to share a connection with him (cheaper) and would like him to be able to use the Internet in whatever way he sees fit, but I can't deal with this situation.
I would like a home networking solution whereby his P2P traffic can be throttled down whenever other traffic comes through. I see a parallel here with CPU scheduling where batch jobs run with lower priority than interactive processes. It would be great if the solution would work with a standard WiFi/wired router (I think we are using a Buffalo router). Any ideas?"
