I think you are misreading the docs.. I don't think ppp or tun have an inherent support for bandwidth limiting so you will have to insert rules on the fly. The docs for ipfw mention something about getting the transmit clock from tun but I have no idea if it actually works, or what it does. I looked through the code but I couldn't find a mention of anything about it.. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 9A8C 569F 685A D928 5140 AE4B 319B 41F4 5D17 FDD5 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
