This will probably imply the addition of a class this is what ipfw already does. The "pipe" and "queue" actions, among others, just tag a packet with an integer, which is then used by a separate mechanism (dummynet in this case) to perform the scheduling as appropriate. Have a look at ip_input.c and ip_output.c on how these attributes are handled. It would be trivial to add additional actions, e.g. to pass classified packets to ALTQ, assuming they are necessary at all. cheers luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ipfw" in the body of the message
