Hello
My system:
FreeBSD firewall 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #3: Fri Feb 6
10:47:08 CET 2009 martin@firewall:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/FREEBSD_AMD64 amd64
I use the following rule in my /etc/rc.firewall:
[snip]
$ipfwcmd pipe 1 config bw 80KByte/s
$ipfwcmd add pipe 1 ip from any to 192.168.10.0/24{100-254} via em1
[snip]
I'm not sure it works. When I do a large download which takes long and
anybody else want download too, this download will only get a reduce
bandwidth. I expect that the second download get same rate as the first one
(and reduce the bandwidth from the first one). Is that correct?
Kind regards,
--
