I'd find it jolly handy to be able to bandwidth limit different IP ranges to different times (to match my ISPs times for unlimited downloads for example, but also to spread the available bandwidth about). Currently it would appear that any IP ranges in the list are covered by the same schedules.... that's very limiting.

It would be advantageous if a time schedule could be applied to a specific IP range/bandwidth limits and also that the same IP range can be included again but with a different bandwidth limit and time span (to allow one set of limits at a particular time of day and different limits for another time for a given set of users). This should be available for several IP ranges (say a limit of 16 entries in the bandwidth table to stop things getting too complicated)
Obviously the same feature should be available for session limits.

Handy helping features towards this would be giving names to the schedule entries to make it easier reading the config.
Also using entries from the IP objects/IP group table instead of having to put in the IP ranges.
Bandwidth limit entries might then look something like:
Period..........IP Range..........UP..........DN..........Shared
NoLimit.........HeavyUsers.....488k.....1024k.........Y
PeakTime.....HeavyUsers.....100k.......500k.........Y
PeakTime.....Others.............488k.....4096k.........Y
(Excuse the dots - table layout!)

How about it folks?
