Of course if you can do things like $fw add 100 accept ip from ${here} to ${there} $fw add 65533 pipe 1 from any to any $fw pipe 1 configure bandwidth 3m your privileged traffic will get the difference. Also if you make sure that the aggregate bw for all "pipes" does not exceed the total bw of your network, your bandwidth becomes guaranteed. cheers luigi -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ _____________________________|______________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
