Bandwidth throttling in OS X

Once you have a set of rules that do what you want, it's pretty simple to create a shell script to create those, and a launchd plist to run it on boot. I actually just did something like this on my home network.

(Be nice to my poor Mini, and note that it's under the same bandwidth throttling that's described here!)

Is this because the rules clear every time the computer reboots? Just curious. I'm looking to use this in an office environment to single out some people who download stuff and hog my bandwidth :)
