      Hello to all,
      I want to know if there is a way to trigger a traffic shaper rule at reaching a traffic threshold preset, example threshold of 1gb… If I get over of it, a traffic shaper rule is triggered to limit traffic.

        Your request seems a bit redundant because traffic-shaping is technically the intelligent scheduling of queued packets, and a queue is virtually non-existant until the bitrate meets or exceeds your configured bitrate (like the "1Gbit" bitrate in your example).

        What exactly is your goal?

        Please correct any obvious misinformation in my posts.

          I don't mean 1gb as bitrate, but as total amount of traffic that passes through an interface

            Ah, I see. Sadly, the answer is "No" then, unless you want to some scripting yourself.

            Linux iptables does have this feature built-in.

            FYI, gb = gigabit, gB or GB = gigabyte. I just spell it out to avoid confusion.

              Ok, thanks for your reply and clarification.
