to me :)  It isn't as useful as you think. I can easily generate
200 clients being only  one person. That's why the focus in
bandwidth shapers lies on the type of  traffic and the
origin/destination rather then the state and they divide the
bandwidth within those pipes between the states. Secondly - bit
besides the point, but not many people think about it - if you
have 100% available and limit a single person to 5%, you're more
likely to  end up at the 100%, si
