Router replacement

Hi all,

I've got a cheap router. I think it can't handle enough connections. I live in a house with a lot of other students. When a few use bittorrent, the speed collapse.
Sow I want to make a linux router on which I can monitor the number of connections and see how much traffic a specific IP generates. Nice would be to limit the number of connections an ip address is making.

Is there a linux distribution that has this by default? I looked at freesco and IPcop but I don't think they have this kind of functionality.

Thanks in advance

A nice tool to monitor Internet traffic is iptraf, it's in Portage (net-analyzer/iptraf). I've seen some threads about bandwidth shaping around the forum, but I don't have any experience with that.
