What I want to do is not limit bandwidth but simply priorise traffic going accross my FreeBSD router. ie I want to say for example SSH traffic is top priority, HTTP secnond etc... is that possible with DUMMYNET/ipfw ? Also no matter how many time I read the man page I am still greatly confused by "queue" business in relation to ipfw and DUMMYNET. IS someone able to offer a simple explanation of this? Your help is greatly appreciated..... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Would you like to receive faxes to your personal email address? You can with mBox.
