You can control that using TC, also add latency and packet loss if you want. It's really powerful, although a bit difficult to learn.

90% of the more advanced Linux tools - they're what make the platform so great in my opinion, but the usability tends to get in the way of the full potential

hopefully its not cli, but if it is and it fullfills my needs i ll probably have to learn how to use it

You want to do this on a specific machine and not across your network? QoS rules are usually applied at a router or managed switch. I've done something like this for troubleshooting a specific network condition with a local proxy before, but never for everything running on a machine.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
