I sent in a patch to 1.3.20 but nobody has appeared to be interested in it. I feel like this is the SGI 10x patch deal all over again. Would anyone care to look at the patch if I sent it in again?

You may want to look at the Zeus server to understand the features that were product-worthy as one example. It appears that they've only implemented this at the virtual server level. As you're probably aware, thttpd also provides flexible bandwidth throttling, http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/thttpd_man.html#THROTTLING Charles -----Original Message----- From: Alex Stewart [mailto:alex@foogod.com] Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2001 5:53 PM To: dev@httpd.apache.org Subject: Re: Bandwidth control Charles Randall wrote: > Often times, this can be done easier at the OS level. What OS are you using? Linux, and I am aware of various kernel-level controls for traffic shaping, etc, however if you can tell me how to enforce different bandwidth limits for different name-based vhosts, different directories, etc, then I'm all ears, but I suspect I can also give you pretty good reasons why even if such decisions could somehow be done at the OS level, they really shouldn't be. -alex
