p>Bandwidth throttling in OS X

“Advanced OS X users know that Darwin comes with ipfw, which can be used to set up a custom firewall. This same service however can be used to also limit bandwidth on specific ports.

Not too hard but good for testing web services code and other things under bandwidth constrained environments.
