O seguinte conjunto de comandos limitará a taxa de saída do tráfego com uma porta de origem ou destino de 8333 a 160 kbit / s, a menos que o IP de destino esteja na rede local.
#network interface on which to limit traffic

#limit of the network interface in question

#limit outbound Bitcoin protocol traffic to this rate

#limit outgoing traffic to and from port 8333. but not when dealing with a host on the local network
# --set-mark marks packages matching these criteria with the number "2"
# these packages are filtered by the tc filter with "handle 2"
# this filter sends the packages into the 1:11 class, and this class is limited to ${LIMIT}
