This is not a solution for me, because I have the following configuration +----+ | H1 |-----+ +----+ | +----+ +---+ +---+ | H2 |---| R |---| G |--... +----+ +---+ +---+ +----+ | | H3 |-----+ +----+ G is SunOS 5.5.1 and it is possible to set the ethernet card to either 10 or 100 Mbit/s. So no problem here :-) H[1-3] and R are all FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE with Digital Fast Ethernet cards. I want to set those cards first to 10 Mbit/s and test my packet schedulers (priority, WFQ, RED, RIO) when H1, H2 and H3 are all sending via R at the same time. The destination machines are behind G. Then I want to go up to 100 Mbit/s and see if FreeBSD can handle 300 Mbit/s incoming traffic, schedule it and send out max 100 Mbit/s. It is however easier to work with 10 Mbit/s as the total amount of incoming traffic is 30 Mbit/s. And since H[1-3] are also FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE I'm stuck with this strange "ifconfig media" thing :-( /Martti To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
