You'll need to use the tc command to create bandwidth queues that are allocated to each of your users. This command is in the iproute package, which should already be installed. The documentation for it is at http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.qdisc.html. You can classify packets for queuing using either the built-in filtering commands or by marking packets with iptables.

I use the HTB queuing class since CBQ never seems to control bandwidth the way I want it to.

Hope this helps.

Can you help with this problem?
