Hello! I'm pretty new to ipfw with respect to using dummynet pipes and queues for traffic shaping. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to do something I want: How to force my interface to burst its traffic. That is, I want a pipe that has a delay of A and a bandwidth of B but will stall itself at the *end* of a count C of slots/bytes/whatever for a defined waiting period D and then continue. Do I want a configurable queue delay maybe? The ipfw/dummynet docs talk about the delay caused by a deep queue but doesn't mention a way to explicitly set a delay like you can for pipes. Is there any way to accompish this with multiple pipes and queues perhaps? Thanks, Charles -- Charles R. Hunter Director, Physics Computer Network Purdue University crh XatX physics.purdue.edu
