Firstly, apologies for the cross post, I am not sure if this is a ipfw related topic. Secondly, pls respond directly, I am not subscribed with this address. OK. The problem as I understand it, is that when you are uploading lots on the ADSL connection, it will limit the DL speed and vice versa. This is because there is little room left in the available bandwith for the ACK packets of a data xfer. The question is, can the traffic be shaped in such a way as to give priority to these types of packets? Or, limit the UP/Down speed of an individual IP address so that at least they are the only ones affected? -D _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ipfw" in the body of the message
