See `man 4 dummynet` and `man 8 ipfw`, as well as: http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ip_dummynet/ Or in lieu of dummynet, you could try ALTQ (alternate queuing) which is now part of the kame project and coming along nicely, take a look at http://www.csl.sony.co.jp/person/kjc/software.html#ALTQ for more information about it. -- Derrick John Klise "I went into a general store, and they wouldn't sell me anything specific". -- Steven Wright To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
