I have read the man page and the mail archive but found little help. I run version 4.7 and all the necessary ipfw kernel options have been configured. MY PROBLEM I have a 128kb Internet access which gets very slow during peak hours. I want to reserve/dedicate a protion (say 64kb) of this link to to some urls which we use for official duties (eg 193.114.79.76) OR limit general Internet usage to just a portion (say 64kb), hence making the remainder exclusively available for such official duties. This is what I did: ipfw pipe 10 config bw 64kbit/s queue 15kbytes ipfw queue 10 config weight 60 pipe 10 ipfw queue 10 ip from any to 193.114.79.76 I did not notice any change. Is this configuration okay for my problem? Or can anyone help me with a better one? How can I confirm if a configuration is working properly? Thanks Abdul
