Hello!
I'm trying to set up FreeBSD-based router, and got troubles with
bandwidth limiting. My queues drops lots of packets.
[23:38] gw:~ # ipfw pipe 200 config bw 30mbit/s queue 100
[23:42] gw:~ # ipfw add 600 pipe 200 ip from any to any out via vlan333
00600 pipe 200 ip from any to any out via vlan333
seems to be easy. now
[23:43] gw:~ # ipfw zero
Accounting cleared.
make sure we'll catch packets out of pipe
[23:43] gw:~ # sysctl net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass
net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass: 0
and, waiting a bit
[23:43] gw:~ # ipfw show | grep vlan333
00600 2010 140730 pipe 200 ip from any to any out via vlan333
00700 0 0 allow ip from any to table(1) via vlan333
00710 840 142335 allow ip from table(1) to any via vlan333
whoops! No packets left pipe
part of ipfw pipe list

As far as I understand, pipe dropped most of tcp packets, didn't it?
Of course, people complaints of network "not working".
Eventually, some packets gets out of queue, but with 30 mbit/s pipe on
100 mbit link I'd expect to drop 2/3 packets at most, not 99 of 100
00600 1012 64217 pipe 200 ip from any to any out via vlan333
00700 14 560 allow ip from any to any out via vlan333
What could I do wrong? System is fairly unloaded. External card is Intel
PRO 100/1000;
last pid: 11209; load averages: 0.52, 0.36,
0.34 up 5+19:37:14 23:52:17
70 processes: 2 running, 68 sleeping
CPU states: 1.3% user, 0.0% nice, 6.4% system, 14.1% interrupt, 78.2%
idle
Mem: 87M Active, 673M Inact, 195M Wired, 33M Cache, 111M Buf, 8324K Free

top shows quite little load on system.
