Hi All! I have a little problem here. I'm going to have two employees here who are making calls with skype. There is a router (FreeBSD 5.3) and a NAT-ed network. Internet is accessed via ppp (DSL line). When the network is loaded heavily, skype is breaking up. Is there any way to configure my router to prioritize packets for skype users? The speed of incoming traffic cannot be limited efficiently, am I wrong? What I probably need is to limit bandwidth and/or set packet priority by port number. I'm not sure about the protcocol of Skype in this case because we would like to use it to make calls to regular phone numbers. I'm not really new to ipfw but what I have now is a configuration that was changed from an example. Any URL pointing to the right place will be appreciated. Best, Laci
