Source: Freshmeat Daily News htb-gen is an easy, scalable bandwidth management tool. You can set up/down portions of bandwith for each host or network that goes through your router/firewall. Priority traffic (Web, email, gaming, FTK, VOIP, and streaming) is preferred over junk traffic (Kazaa, emule, etc). Dynamic bandwith borrowing and reassignment is done betwen hosts thanks to htb boundaries. A Web frontend for config is avaible, so remote management is possible. It is bash-based, so it can be used in embedded routers/firewalls (wired/wireless). Two backends are aviable: one that generates raw tc commands, and one that generates htb-init conf files (util for integration). The packet clasification is done by iptables.
