Solution for limiting an account or server MPS?

I searched through old threads but found 404s on the apache mod links. One mod just limits the total bandwidth for time not the MPS. I added mod_bandwidth but it didn't make any difference, not sure if it's broken or just not effective. I added this and it says it was added: Added /scripts/setbwlimit --domain=domain.com --limit=25000000 which I would think limits the account to 25 mps but they are still pushing 100 mps. I'm I missing something or is there a better way to do this? Thanks,

  Oh do I have 1 too many zeros in there for 25 mps? Hmm the docs doesn't seem to say how to use it or any details on why it might not work.

  Hello, The script you are using is intended for limiting total bandwidth usage, not rate limiting. There's a thread on this at:

  Thanks, I read that. Can you explain what mod_bandwidth does?

  It's primarily used to restrict the number of simultaneous connections per VirtualHost. Some raw documentation on it is found at:

  I'm so confused, so there is no solution to limit MBPS for an account? You have to do this with the switch? Most switches just have 10/100/1000 what if you need to limit it to 25 mbps for example?

  There are no native options included with cPanel to shape traffic. There are some third-party options that are not supported discussed at: Thank you.
