Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I was wondering if anyone had ever used altq to throttle people on an adsl connection. Basically what I want to do make each user share bandwidth evenly, but in such a way that they can use all the available bandwidth individually if nobody else is using it. However, I also want to be able to set aside some of that bandwidth for ssh. The problem is on my machine, with dummynet, I can do all this, but when I set it up to limit both incoming (608Kbit/s) and outgoing (128Kbit/sec) connections, the ping time through the machine goes up by 5 seconds, if I turn off the queuing options on the outgoing connections/packets, the ping returns to normal. Also, I can't figure out with altq how to set up different incoming and outgoing bandwidths. Does anyone have any experience doing anything like this with altq? if not, can someone tell me how to fix my ping problem with dummynet? Thanks.
