Bandwidth control and monitoring

I know I asked this question before, but I can't seem to find the thread or a solution. What I'm looking for is a Netlimiter for linux. Doesn't have to be as fancy or have things like a scheduler, just being able to cap an application or port easily (with access to the gui) is all I need.

A program plus a seperate program as a frontend is fine too. Unfortunately, this is essential if I'm to use and play around in linux. My bro plays CS so some sites that have big images or other things that take up my bandwidth cause him to spike and lag. For windows I can cap my firefox to 30KB to make sure nothing will cause him to lag.

I can't seem to find a program that can do this task. Would anyone happen to know a program like that?
 
Thanks, but is there a gui frontend or something available? I'm not quite sure how to use tc (I have both iptables and iproute2 packages) and I'm afraid that it'll be a hassle to use the command line to limit my bandwidth and unlimit it.
 
that's the beauty of linux....the scripting power is incredible. You could write/execute this any number of ways, such as cron job (specific times/days) shortcuts (click on them) cgi on a web server, putting the file in your path and naming it easy, like limit, unlimit etc
 
I've found a frontend for tc called Ktctool, but from the looks of it, it seems a bit much perhaps.. All I'm looking for is an easy way to limit bandwidth per application (I've heard that linux can't really do that) or per port. Take a look at Netlimiter, DU Super Controler, for Windows. Something like that maybe.
