Linux – way to limit bandwidth in Linux

bandwidthlinuxnetworking

I've setup a network which will have 3 users, two of them use a Windows based operating system and the other uses a Linux based one. It is a 12 MB ADSL2 connection and the idea is to distribute the bandwidth among the users (there is no server, just a Wi-Fi router).

For the Windows users there are several programs like NetLimiter to set a maximum amount, but what about Linux? How could that be done?
