Greetings IPFW list. Is it possible to dedicate a portion of bandwidth to a rule so that regardless of how cramped a connection gets, a defined amount can be reserved for a particular packet flow, for instance ssh? I figured out how to 'prioritize' using queues thanks to this little tutorial: http://ezunix.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewar ticle&artid=36&page=1 But I'd like to be able to dedicate a small amount of bandwidth that nothing else would be able to use, regardless of how saturated the link got. Thanks in advance for any assistance, or pointers to good reading for improving my dummynet skills Yours, Peter Brezny purplecat.nethelp
