The situation is following: Am feeding a site with 4mbps of internetcapacity - Have approx 230 user incoming via catv - Approx 100 user attached directly via Ethernet Hardware = Dual PPro 200Mhz, 128 RAM, 1 Intel EtherExpress NIC & 1 Realtek 8139 The catv customers should have 3.5 mbps and the rest should have 500kbps. Have tested dummynet with my workstation and pico bsd, it worked well. But what considerations should be taken regarding hardware and queue sizes when over 300 users are flowing through the bridge? What should be considered as "normal". Trial and error is an option of course but this would generate a lot of angry phonecalls to me ;-) TIA! -Rickard To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
