You need a "fair sharing" queueing discipline, something like CBQ. I don't know if you can do that with dummynet. I know for sure ALTQ works great for this. It supports a bunch of queueing disciplines (CBQ, RED, WFQ and others). you can download it at http://www.csl.sony.co.jp/person/kjc/kjc/software.html There is an effort to integrate it into -CURRENT, but I don't remember the URL. > > I've used both ipfw and ipfilter.

ALTQ is firewall-agnostic =0). Hope this helps.
