This one thing is bothering me about ipfw traffic shaping ability. Lets say we have: ipfw pipe 1 config bw 128kbit/s ipfw queue 1 config weight 5 pipe 1 ipfw queue 2 config weight 50 pipe 1 ipfw add queue 1 ip from any to box1 ipfw add queue 2 ip from any to box2 ipfw add pipe 1 ip from any to box3 ipfw add allow ip from any to box4 these rules are kinda stupid but just to illustrate what i mean :-) This means that box1-3 are limited to 128kbit/s of bandwidth and box4 is free. Now what I dont understand is which box has maximum priority here? Does higher weight number means higher priority? And what about box4 who isn't piped and queued what is his priority? Thank you for bothering and answering! Marko from Slovenia To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
