I gave port 80 as an example but I need this configuration for limiting other services as well. If you have a 100mbps connection and only one client, you want him to only use 50kbps, not the full pipe. If you have 200 clients, they still get 50kbps each. Is this feature that I need so complicated that it can't be implemented easily into FreeBSD or is it that not many people need it ? It sounds quite useful to me :) > I have personally tried that before and it did not worked as described, in > fact it didn't work at all to limit anything on FBSD6. > > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Christopher Cowart > Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 7:55 PM > To: freebsd@top-consulting.net > Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: FreeBSD Traffic Shaping > > freebsd@top-consulting.net wrote: >> I am trying to limit the bandwidth available to some connections and >> I'm not sure FreeBSD can handle this.
