[TriLUG] Throttling eth0 / eth1, etc.

[Brian A. Henning]

This may be completely unhelpful if you are running more services than
simply httpd, but httpd can be throttled itself by tweaking
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf ...  It's done (in one case) by the mod_throttle
module.  See http://www.snert.com/Software/mod_throttle/ for information on
that particular module.  Or google "httpd throttle" for more possibilities.
