Your statement seems a bit strange because with RED there are no priorities. In any case, RED support is very very very easy to add to dummynet. To get the idea, the most difficult part is the ipfw code to pass RED parameters to the kernel! I may do it in the future when i have a need for this, if somebody does not beat me. cheers luigi -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ _____________________________|______________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
