PPS limit on network interfaces

[tincboy]

In some cases a VM which sends too many packets per second can make router down so we need to put limit or atleast monitor the PPS
Is there any way to do it in Proxmox ?
Any help will be much appreciated.

It should work with wondershaper (calculate from PPS to kbit/s):

install it in Proxmox:

apt-get install wondershaper

Then select the related interface inside of Proxmox, if it's e.g. the first NIC of VM 105 the name is tap105i0, and limit the bandwidth (the following limits it to 100kbit/s):

wondershaper tap105i0 100 100

See also the related man-page!
