Description

Hello,

I request traffic shaping implementation for each vhost and.or connection from vhost or entire server like lighttpd https://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/wiki/Docs_TrafficShaping Now i use webhtb for entire ip, but i need per connection, for .mp4 files, cant serve for each client entire free bandwidth.

Thankx in advance

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study existing rate limiting and connection handling in H2O's source code, specifically the request/connection lifecycle and how to add per connection bandwidth control. Look at how other servers (e.g., lighttpd) implement traffic shaping for reference.
