Hi, Whilst reading Luigi's page on dummynet http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ip_dummynet/ I came across the following paragraph If you want all machines to share evenly a single link, you should use instead: ipfw add queue 1 ip from any to 10.1.2.0/24 ipfw queue 1 config weight 5 pipe 2 mask dst-ip 0x000000ff ipfw pipe 2 config bw 300Kbit/s According to the ipfw man page, the value of weight ranges from 1..100. I am trying to get some understanding as to why the value '5' implies evenness. My first thought that the weight should be 50 but maybe I am misunderstanding some concept or in this case could the value be anything since we want each flow to have the same weight ?
