I have a problem nagging at me for a while now...
If I create a pipe with a dst-ip mask (I haven't tried with a src-ip
mask) and a bandwith limit, the limit isn't respected properly. I know
it's not in the firewall rules themselves, the traffic goes into the
pipe, just when I use ipfw pipe show, I see more traffic then should
have been allowed, which is starting to be problematic considering the
slow internet pipe here.
For example:
10 second averages show 5 users receiving closer to (and above) 300kbps.
I thought maybe it was just my mental conversion from bytes to kbit that
was wrong, but I calculated: 250kbit / 8 = 31.25KByte, so I shouldn't
see more then 31000bytes in a dump (310 000 bytes for a 10s dump, 3.1M
for a 100s dump, etc), yet it isn't so per the dumps below:
firewall# ipfw pipe 20 delete && ipfw pipe 20 config bw 250kbps mask
dst-ip 0x000000ff && sleep 10 && ipfw -s 4 pipe 20 show
00020: 250.000 Kbit/s 0 ms 50 sl. 13 queues (64 buckets) droptail
mask: 0x00 0x00000000/0x0000 -> 0x000000ff/0x0000

Even with a 1000 second average I still see/have one computer fairly
high above the limit:
A014# ipfw pipe 20 delete && ipfw pipe 20 config bw 250kbps mask dst-ip
0x000000ff && sleep 1000 && ipfw -s 4 pipe 20 show
00020: 250.000 Kbit/s 0 ms 50 sl. 43 queues (64 buckets) droptail
mask: 0x00 0x00000000/0x0000 -> 0x000000ff/0x0000

So is this normal or is it caused by something I'm doing or maybe not?
Thank you for any info!
