Well! Sir Deepak first you should define that either you want to control
overall network traffic through your [Router/Gateway] or you just want to
control the traffic to anf from the Internet.

If you wanna make ur Fedora machine the routing mechine to control traffic
between your clients then my suggestion wasn't for u.

But if you want to make your Fedora machine the gateway to Interent for your
clients and after that you want to bound your users to send/receive data in
a fixed bandwidth e.g 5KB/per user and I thinks it's really what you want
then for that purpose you can use Squid Server's "Delay Pool" functionality
to restrict a certin part of user e.g
a)User of Department A gets 5KB each
b)USers of Department B gets 30KB each... n so on

Or u can put a single policy on a;; the users...
a) Ever user will get no more then 5KB.

So, wat do u say??
