This is a similar question to this one: How do I limit internet bandwidth? but in this case I am looking for a GUI app.
The other question was 2+ years ago so a GUI might be available that I could use to not only monitor but also change the maximum speed at which clients can download. A WebApp or a GUI app will help. It needs to work on 12.04 or newer.
Just to give an idea, I am looking for something similar to NetLimiter that gives me the control to know:
- How much Download/Upload speed an IP/Mac has (Assuming this is a LAN)
- Limit the Download/Upload speed for an IP/Mac.
- Option to say at what time a speed can be limited or not.
- Can cap when a certain amount has been downloaded/uploaded (Like 250MB per day)
Best Answer
Network Traffic Monitor
(Only some of those needs could be satisfied with)
