Look into dummynet (part of ipfw now, man dummynet) and the ALTQ package (http://www.csl.sony.co.jp/person/kjc/programs.html) for FreeBSD. Example usage of dummynet to simulate a 128k ISDN link on <your ip>: ipfw pipe 1 config bw 128Kbit/s ipfw add 1000 pipe 1 ip from <your ip> to any in recv <your interface> ipfw add 1001 pipe 1 ip from any to <your ip> out xmit <your interface> --- Mike Wade (mwade@cdc.net) Director of Systems Administration CDC Internet, Inc.
