When trying to set queue size (>100) with ipfw,
I found ipfw actually hard-coded the queue size limit to 100.

I am trying to simulation network link with very high delay and relatively
low bandwidth. However, I don't want to suffer packet drops. So I need a
large queue size.

Can anyone tell me why 100 is the limitation? Is there any problem if I
increase the number, e.g., 200?

thanks,
