Dear sir.

I have 3 download satellites and a microwave connection,
providing internet to a huge number of users.

i want to make shapping for the traffic to control my
outbound and inbound.
the problem is that my outbound is 128kbit/s and when many
users chat or send files my network stop working.
i read many documents about dummy and couldnt find any
theory that help me assigning the delay and queue so that
my network will work smooth, even i couldnt understand what
delay and queue are used for.
my firewall rules are.

ipfw add pipe 1 ip from 10.20.0.0/16 to any out
ipfw add pipe 2 ip from any to 10.20.0.0/16  in
