We want to limit the total amount of bandwidth consumed, based on the formula 2U + D <= L. If we used two pipes, there would be no way to keep track of the sum. What I need (and am not sure if DUMMYNET can currently supply) is a pipe that allows you to feed it a packet and say, "Count this X times toward the bandwidth limit." (In our case, X could be an integer, but in some cases it MIGHT be helpful to allow it to be a fixed point or real number.) If X was not specified, it'd be assumed to be unity -- both for backward compatibility and in keeping with POLA. --Brett Glass
