Excuse me but i think there is a misunderstanding. Having dummynet reorder packets is just to simulate a network "feature" that should not exist on most networks (but it might if you have clustered links or multiple paths) and see how the protocol stack behaves. It is not a way to implement some form of fairness... so, i think the first part of your email does not apply (i know applications will have a harder time!) while the second part could be interesting and worth reposting under a separate Subject (or, if as you say it is long, put it somewhere on the web and give me an URL). cheers luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
