You can use a clever combination of bandwidth-limiting pipes and masks to ensure that no one connection uses more that X% of your (theoretical) bw. You could make all non-ssh connections go through a bw-limiting pipe (75-85%). To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ipfw" in the body of the message
