Is there a good way, under FreeBSD 3.x (or 4.x, or whatever) to tell the BSD system that a given interface has a maximum speed of, say, 256k? i.e. rl0 - 10baseT (Gateway to router) rl1 - 128k (LAN interface) rl2 - 256k (Client's Dedicated Server) rl3 - 256k (Client's Dedicated Server) This would be used to prevent client networks (co-located) from utilizing more bandwidth than they should be, to avoid clogging our main outward pipe. Alternatively, is there an appliance that could do this? (a managed switch/hub, perhaps?) This would be the preferable solution, but a FreeBSD system would probably be less costly. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated ----------- Robert Wall sales@web-walrus.com Web Walrus Media 405 S Farwell St #23C Eau Claire, WI 54701 (715) 855-0189 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
