hello,

ipfw man page says:

     buckets hash-table-size
             Specifies the size of the hash table used for storing the various
             queues.  Default value is 64 controlled by the sysctl(8) variable
             net.inet.ip.dummynet.hash_size, allowed range is 16 to 1024.

and my question is if it's possible to somehow go beyond 1024, or if
doing so wouldnt be adviced. (ie, performance would be poor or so)

i'd need to experiment shaping with "large" supernets giving each
single ip addresses a designated bandwidth. (i'm using gigabit, if
someone wonders if i really need that many, and the answer is "yes")
