Although I don't have too much experience with this matter, it sounds like the dummynet(4) traffic shaper, that is part of the ipfw(8) firewall might be what you want. Since I don't know whether you already have experience with FreeBSD, and whether it is already installed on your system, here are links to the html'ized versions of the man pages mentioned: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=dummynet&apropos=0&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+4.9-stable&format=html http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ipfw&sektion=8&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+4.9-stable Regards, Simon --PEIAKu/WMn1b1Hv9 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/2lXVCkn+/eutqCoRAqVXAKCFQ5AYVib+e6BaAijj21+P0GaOFQCfeNhw umEWZgEc/+Niwe+8VtguAnI= =r98O -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --PEIAKu/WMn1b1Hv9--
