I'm trying to limit bandwidth to one of the boxes to to below 5Mbps (it's eating up a full 10Mbps lan).. Specifically just limit port 80 (web traffic) so I can telnet/ftp without any lag.. I tried dummynet, but it only seems to queue incoming packets, which results in me running out of my mbufs (8192 total), and the system reboots. Can a software solution handle this? Or would I need something hardware based? TIA, Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
