I had previously investigated all of these but shaperd. I had not
considered a user-space solution because I assumed I would not be happy
with its performance (I know.... don't assume, measure). Its config file
does look nice, I have to say. I think I will investigate that further
before writting too much more code.
The Linux Bandwidth Arbitrator project is very interesting, and does
look friendly and powerful. Unfortunatly, it insists on running in
ethernet bridge mode, rather than as part of a router. Its automatic
configuraton abilities would make me consider recommending it to any
non-geek users (even if they need a separate machine for it).
