The parent policy (physical) limits the traffic to 30Mbps. The child policy (subnets) allocates 33% of available bandwidth to each subnet. In this case it should be very close to 10Mbps for each subnet. This is a fair queue mechanism so it will only enforce the 10Mbps limit if. Editing the Hosts File on a MAC. To edit the host file, you must first open it by double clicking it. You will notice that it is a simple file that contains just a few lines of text and characters such as pound and hash tags. The file also list the IP address of the localhost and broadcasthost.

From your post you would appear to be on a network (home)? Using a router? If that's the case your router may have an option to restrict bandwidth to selected ports and/or MAC addresses. Check the documentation for the router.

This same service however can be used to also limit bandwidth on specific ports. Example: sudo ipfw pipe 1 config bw 15KByte/s creates a pipe that only allows up to 15KB/s to go through. Then: sudo ipfw add 1 pipe 1 src-port 80 will attach that pipe to the outgoing traffic on port 80, effectively limiting the outgoing traffic of the web server.
