[icecast] Limiting bandwidth usage on Icecast2/Linux

[Leo Currie]

Hello.

I want to somehow limit the total bandwidth usage on my server to < 
256Kbit/s when simultaneously streaming both Ogg & MP3. This is because 
I have an ADSL line. If I were streaming just CBR MP3, I could limit the 
number of listeners - this is what I currently do, and it works fine.

IIRC, the old version of Icecast had a crude bandwidth limiter on it 
(throttle?) - Is there something similar in Icecast2?

Otherwise, I would have to construct some kind of mechanism to monitor 
the bandwidth usage of Icecast2, and prevent new client connections if 
the average bandwidth exceeded x over n seconds, right? ;)

Thanks for any suggestions.

Leo
