We are planning to use dummynet for bandwidth control and are very happy with the abilities of dummynet so far, but recently we ran into a problem we cannot solve: The man page of ipfw says, that the "ipfw queue" command can be used to create OR MODIFY an existing queue. But when I issue a command like ipfw queue 6 config weight 50 pipe 5 the weight of the queue is not changed. Only if I first delete the queue with "ipfw queue delete" and then recreate it with the above command, the weight is changed as expected. Is it not possibly to reconfigure the queue dynamically or am I missing something? Thank you very much, Martin
