I have been using PF for several years now and used IPFW previous to PF that I've grown more and more fond of. I now need to manage bidirectional traffic I have used Dummynet before to do similar things but it is my understanding that Altq can only manage outgoing traffic although I find the occasional example of it managing incoming like one to limit window's email assuming that I'm reading it properly. My questions are: Am I correct in saying that Altq can not manage bidirectional traffic? if not I understand the dummynet can be used with pf and if so does anyone know of a howto to get me started? I would rather not switch to IPFW right now. Thanks, ed
