#Setup the rate control and delay
sudo tc qdisc add dev lo root handle 1: htb default 12 
sudo tc class add dev lo parent 1:1 classid 1:12 htb rate 56kbps ceil 128kbps 
sudo tc qdisc add dev lo parent 1:12 netem delay 200ms

#Remove the rate control/delay
sudo tc qdisc del dev lo root

#To see what is configured on an interface, do this
sudo tc -s qdisc ls dev lo

#Replace lo with eth0/wlan0 to limit speed from wide lan
