Hi,

I have a preliminary version of the long awaited WF2Q+ support in
dummynet. A picobsd image is available for testing purposes at

	http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/picobsd.000530.bin

(when the image boots, you can login as 'root' password 'setup')
and a (probably cryptic) manpage at

	http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ipfw.8


Basic configuration for testing (read the manpage for more)

	ipfw add queue 1 ip from any to any

	ipfw queue 1 config weight 10 pipe 3 mask all queue 20
	ipfw pipe 10 config bw 100Kbit/s

basically a 'queue' object defines how packets are partitioned into
flows, and the weight associated with each flow. The 'pipe' object
that the queue points to is then used to set the overall rate, which
is then shared among the flows according to their weights.
You can have multiple 'queue' point to the same 'pipe' and this way
you can have flows with different weights.

If you try this floppy please provide feedback, even if it is just
to say that it works fine - thanks :)

	cheers
	luigi
