TC limiting : Helps to set maximum upload/download speed limit to your linux server/pc's selected network interface.

limit-tc.sh

#!/bin/bash  
# Full path to tc binary 

TC=$(which tc)

#
# NETWORK CONFIGURATION
# interface - name of your interface device
# interface_speed - speed in mbit of your $interface
# ip - IP address of your server, change this if you don't want to use
#      the default catch all filters.
#
interface=eth0
interface_speed=100mbit
ip=4.1.2.3 # The IP address bound to the interface

# Define the upload and download speed limit, follow units can be 
# passed as a parameter:
# kbps: Kilobytes per second
# mbps: Megabytes per second
# kbit: kilobits per second
# mbit: megabits per second
# bps: Bytes per second
download_limit=512kbit
upload_limit=10mbit    


# Filter options for limiting the intended interface.

# This function starts the TC rules and limits the upload and download speed
# per already configured earlier.

Hi @Lakshanz , pretty cool script. Can you please help me customize it for my use case, where I need to apply the rules to the wwan0 port of the router.
This port is used when the main internet connection fails and the router falls back to the mobile data connection.
This means that normally the wwan0 port does not have any ip.

Awesome ... working as was required
Thanks a lot for such a nice effort.
Thanks

it does not limit download speed the way I expected. Only upload did. I've noticed part of code burst 15k impacts what i wanna ideally get.

How to limit download speed, reduce the burst value?

Same as you.

erron in lines 37, 38, 69, 69. need replace 'tc' to '$TC'
