Hi!
I'm writing an application that, needs to be able to quickly alter the
bandwidth between another machine and the host.
The only way I can do that -- without another machine's cooperation -- is by
using the firewall, such as the dummynet functionality of ipfw.
Is there any way to create/alter such a pipe from a C-program without using
system("ipfw ....")?
If not ipfw, perhaps, other firewall modules in FreeBSD-6.x?
Thanks a lot!
