ethtool
You can change the aggregate speed of the NIC port using ethtool.
$ sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 10
This will set the port to 10MB, for example.
wondershaper
You can also use the tool wondershaper to do it as well. NOTE: Speed should be in kilobits per second.
$ sudo wondershaper eth1 downspeed upspeed
For example:
$ sudo wondershaper eth0 10000 280
trickle
A 3rd option is trickle. Trickle can be used per program by users or as a daemon that throttles the NIC completely.
User mode - trickle man page
$ sudo trickle -d 20 -u 20 wget http://www.google.com/bigfile
Will throttle 20K/s for both up and down traffic for just this wget, everything else will not be limited.
Daemon mode - trickled man page
In daemon mode, trickled can limit a group of programs to a fixed limit of bandwidth. To start the daemon, run the trickled command:
$ sudo trickled -d 20 -u 20
pyshaper
A 4th option is pyshaper. It’s a unique option among the choices in that it includes GUI and it dynamically monitors and sets the bandwidth over time. You can check out the pyshaper man pagefor more details.
