Hi all,

Is there anyway I can limit outgoing syn-ack packets
my computer sends? I had a large syn flood which was
about 7 mbps incomming. The server also sent 7 mbps
outgoing to reply to those syn's. How can i stop that
or somehow rate limit to maybe 500 kbps or 1 mbps?

I'm not able to find an option to do this using ipfw
and/or dummynet.

Thanks.

Holt
