Rate limitting is one thing that isn't there yet. If we pulled our fingers out, I guess we would have ripped the dummynet rate limmiter out of where it is and placed it into a netgraph node where it would be generally useful instead of being hardcoded into one (sometimes useful) localtion in the netoworking stacks. there is a rate limitter based on netgraph available from: http://www.riss-telecom.ru/~vitaly/ but I have not tried it. I need to look at it again as I believe it has improved and may be generally useful. When I looked at it last it was a bit alpha. It probably needs rewriting for the new netgraph API in -current. > > Tom Veldhouse > veldy@veldy.net -- __--_|\ Julian Elischer / \ julian@elischer.org ( OZ ) World tour 2000 ---> X_.---._/ from Perth, presently in: Budapest v To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
