Traffic Shaping

Is there currently a way to throttle bandwidth per user.  For example, specify a speed limit of 256kbit for each connected user?

to limit a user(computer) to a upload speed of 256 you need:

1 tunnel with 256kb/s speed
1 queue with 100% weight (connected to that tunnel)
1 Rule for wan saying: all traffic from x.x.x.x (computer ip) goes to queue (configured above)

this is not shaping, only limiting, if another computer tries to use 100% of upload it will lower the limited computer speed.
this only makes sure that no mater what, that computer wont upload faster then 256.

I think there's a shortcut if you want all users to have the same limit, like a single rule with a mask that matches every IP on the subnet. I'll have to look into it some more, or maybe somebody else knows.

i just installed generic pc 1.3 and intend to do some testing. what is the best method of implementing download and upload bandwidth throttling for a residential apartment building where each unit is in its own vlan? or would pfsense be better suited for this?

Something like this for m0n0wall before it goes live in the next few weeks.
