Capping port speed on a dedicated server

Hi,
I've got a CentOS 5 box that I want to cap/throttle the speed of the port to ensure that no more than 50 meg is passing in either direction at any given time.
- I know you can do this with FreeBSD using ipfw but that's not an option for me at the moment...
- I also know you can do this with some reasonably decent switching gear but again that's not an option. It's not my switch and they don't provide capped ports.
So, the question then becomes is there any way to lock the port down to 50 meg using only linux itself?

If you do a google search for "traffic shaping linux" then you will find its possible to do. Then look for tools called tc and qdisc...http://www.topwebhosts.org/tools/traffic-control.php
is a good example
Thanks
