Hi all,

I could do with some hints regarding traffic shaping. My homenetwork is
hooked up to an assymetrical (1536/256) ADSL line, using a FreeBSD 4.6
system which provides the usual NAT/Gateway/Firewall services. I'm using
dummynet to control the amount of bandwidth used by certain hosts on the
network, which all works fine. However, I still suffer from latency when the
maximum up- and/or downstream of the line is being utilized. If I understand
it well, this happens because the buffer in the ADSL modem fills up
completely at those occasions. Is there anyway to prevent this from
happening?

Ta,
