Hello.

Another question ... ;-)

I noticed that IPFW supports bandwidth shaping.. Several boxes I use push
lots of traffic - in hte area of 2 megabits each.  If I were to start
placing traffic limitations to certain addresses or all of them does it take
CPU load or cycles from the box to process these?

In other words, would I sacrafice CPU usage to use this feature?
