I'm not quite sure on how to do this.

This is what I use to limit the bandwidth:

# /sbin/ipfw add 10000 pipe 1 ip from any to any out
# /sbin/ipfw pipe 1 config bw 56Kbit/s

Is that right?

If I add "xmit de1" to the first line, it gives me the error:
ipfw: error: can't check xmit interface of incoming packets

And then prints out the usage of ipfw.

Please help.
