If your router doesn't give you bandwidth and/or traffic shaping |
| 8 |
control, you can drop some packets. For example, the following rule |
| 9 |
will accept up to 50 packets per second and drop the rest. The TCP |
| 10 |
protocol will retry and slow down. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m limit --limit 50/sec -j ACCEPT |
| 13 |
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -j DROP |
