:Hi,
:
:I'm still having trouble limiting bandwidth for emule ports using dummynet
:features.
:I'm using FreeBSD 5.2-current machine for firewall. It has 2 Intel pro 100
:cards and it is configured as a bridge.
:
:I'm doing bandwidth limiting in the following way:
:
:# eMule
:${fwcmd} pipe 59 config bw 256kbit/s
:${fwcmd} pipe 60 config bw 256kbit/s
:${fwcmd} pipe 61 config bw 128kbit/s
The ipfw pipe command is *EXTREMELY* sensitive to case and capitalization.
It only looks at the first few characters.
Try 256Kbit/s instead of 256kbit/s. See the difference?
256kb... -> not recognized properly
256Kb... -> bits per second
256KB... -> bytes per second.
I've always been annoyed by that. I think I'll go fix it in DFly.
-Matt
