Hello!
         You can get this feature if your configures your gateway Fedora
machine also as a transparent prosy server using SQUID. So, you can also
take benifit of caching to accelerate you service to users and can set
bandwidth limits for certian users or for all with the "Delay Pool" option
qhile configuring Squid. Well for working in GUI you can check Webmin.
