    ipfw is the freebsd firewall package.

    Dummynet however is available for Linux and must be usable somehow from iptables. I haven't yet found a tutorial on how to use it with linux. I'm sure it'll exist somewhere.

    Looks like you have to compile it yourself.

    See README file that comes with the dummynet source.
