How to cap connectivity to prolong specified monthly BW?

some arcane incantation
That would be 'tc' - That will allow you to limit any network interface using a variety of methods - Couple it with iptables and you can do some very detailed QOS control as well

But you'll probably need to rebuild your kernel to get it to work - I did

Good luck!

There is an application called Wondershaper for Linux which can be used to limit applications.

Actually we preffer you to throttle at the application level.

We would need the server's Operating System version.

It is highly likely that there would be some arcane incantation you could type to limit the network card to 100Mb/s but without more information we can't really help quite yet.

I've got 1gbps server and it'll be 10mbps when 10TB BW is used. Can anyone suggest away for me to cap the connectivity to like 100mbps etc? Thanks
