Could someone elaborate/expound (even give reference URLs) more on this. I have to convince our network engineer here that this can be done. We have a CISCO 2900 series switch which I need to prod him to give me fo this test. He asserts that this can not be done and quotes the following URL - http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat6000/sft_6_1/configgd/vlans.htm > > QUESTION 2: I've already run IPFW on a FreeBSD box and while I am new to ipfw, I > > see it's already running fine, bar for the tuning that it will require to achieve > > the goal.

My bad. I believe there is something that has not come out clear here. Aren't pipes not part of dummynet application? Since I am new at this, I seem a bit lost. Can I use pipes with a kernl _not_ built with dummynet?
