With DSL broadband shared among 3 PCs, is there shareware to prioritize bandwidth?

With three PCs in a home network all sharing 1 DSL line via a SMC broadband router, is there some kind of software utility allowing me to choose which PC gets the bulk of the bandwidth at any given time?

THanks.
 
Nope...

Unfortunately there isn't though a full featured app that could easily do that for home networks. If there was, it would be a really killer app imho. Linux can do it with the iproute2 tools but the configuration isn't pretty and all of the queueing disciplines require a good bit of reading to fully understand what you're doing to your traffic. 🙂 *BSD can do it as well but I belive the Linux tools are much more configurable.

Other than that the Linksys 8 port cable/DSL router has some type of Quality of Service (QoS) feature to prioritize traffic to the first 4 ports.

Other than that you don't really have any options that I'm aware of. Most traffic shaping hardware is tremendously expensive (and works *very* well for large organizations or colleges).
