The truth bandwidth filtering for a specific port for ubuntu is much more complicated. You can use tc, which can be very involved. There's also a utility called wondershaper. But neither are as straightforward and simple as ipfw.

The local Apache 2 server on my OS X Leopard box is still running super-fast just like always. Any thoughts on why my local server is not slowing down?

I dont have ipfw installed, i cant figure out where it actually could be installed from, everything referenced freebsd, i am running rails 1.8 and apache 2 with serveral mongrel clusters. I want to simulate a production enviroment speed. I cannot figure out how in the heck to install/get ipfw into my ubuntu 9.10 environment. Then my next concern is, will it jack up my apache/mongrel setup which took me hours to figure out. Please advise... anyone. thanks.
