>From http://lists.netisland.net/archives/plug/plug-2004-09/msg00448.html:
iptables -j MARK from Tobias DiPasquale, and
http://monkey.org/~marius/pages/?page=trickle from mct. Sweet. Nothing to
introduce or simulate latency, but awesome bandwidth limiting stuff.

Now my question is what is a reasonable way to run a low RAM requiring
instance of this as a VMWare guest? I guess a floppy or CD based
router/firewall could use the iptables -j MARK, what about trickle? Any
preferred way to save and copy configurations from one use to another with a
floppy or CD based router/firewall?
