I just finished the integration of dummynet and the bridging code,
and now you can do bandwidth limitation at the bridging level (this
means that you can put a dummynet-enabled bridge in the middle of
an ethernet cable without having to reconfigure routes etc.)
For those interested to try it, a floppy image is at
http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ip_dummynet/picobsd980909.bin
It comes up with userconfig, has pnp support, and drivers for
the following cards:
ed, de, fxp, vx, lnc
the fxp code is untested, so if someone wants to try it out... i don't
have such a card at the moment.
Before you ask: since the packet filter is ipfw, at the moment you can
only control IPv4 traffic -- other passes unchanged. I am considering
ipfw extensions to select other traffic basing at least on the ethernet
type field.
(source code will be available in a few days)
cheers
luigi
