Hi,

So if I need to code some traffic control algorithm under the IP layer in
the kernel, how do I determine how fast a particular interface goes. ie how
much bandwidth the interface has?? Also, what unit will this value be in?? I
was considering using MTU in the ifnet struct, but not sure how to use this,
and how it can be calculated along with the member baudspeed.

Regards and Thanks
Dan
