Hello, I currently implement a dummynet rate limit, after boot up, with this sequence: sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass=0 ipfw pipe 1 config bw 10Mbit/s ipfw add 10000 pipe 1 all from any to any Easy. My question is, if I want to change the rate from 10 Mbit/s to 20 Mbit/s, do I just reissue the 'ipfw pipe' command: ipfw pipe 1 config bw 20Mbit/s while leaving the ipf rule in place ? Or should I tear down rule 10000 first, and tear down the pipe, and start from scratch ? Is it safe to just reissue the pipe command on the fly like that ? --------------------------------- Check out the all-new Yahoo! Mail beta - Fire up a more powerful email and get things done faster.
