I like to control the network bandwidth of each process/app on my linux, both ways (download, and upload), as well as my pc overall bandwidth. is that achievable on Linux ? Thanks

trickled can help, but it can hit some issues when you get processes that fork other processes. Definitely test your use cases thoroughly - if you find it's not catching a forked process then just post here with more details. There may just be a configuration change needed in trickled.conf to catch your scenario.
