I know what is WF2Q, but still dont see what is the problem for wich
dont't exist a possibility to limit bandwidth that is given to a
queue, with queue settings.
And exist a precedent, "queue" paramater that exist for pipe and
queue.
For example, if a "bw" parameter is not used for queue, then bandwidth
is given only acording with they weight, so use this option who want,
like anothers parameters ("dst-ip, mask, queue, even weight").
And my suggestion isn't a caprice.
For example: if i have multiple users, that acces internet throught an
freebsd gateway. How split bandwidth?
I have two clear solutions:
1. assign for each host an pipe. But i dont know if in this mode, in
conditions of heavy traffic, bandwidth is well splited. Is possibil
for an user to take more bandwidth (according with his pipe), and
another user remain without bandwidth.
2. share total bandwidth, to different hosts, with queue. This is more
efficient but have a little problem. If an user is alone on traffic
can get all bandwith. For this reason, i want (and i think many
admins) an possibility to limit bandwidth that is given to a queue.
I don't think that passing packets to multiple pipe and queue is e
efficiently for traffic flow.
My sugestion about "bw" parameter for queue is only for convenience. U
can named how you want, so i dont see problem about "... pipes and queues are two distinct objects which have
different semantics."
