Your example:
pipe 1 config bw 128Kbit/s
queue 1 config pipe 1 config mask dst-ip 0xffffffff
queue 1 ip from any to ${int_net} in recv ${ext_dev}
128Kbit/s = 16KBytes/s
As described in ipfw(8), default size of queues and pipes is 50 slots.
This may valid for 10Mbit/s, but not for 128Kbit/s...
Proposal:
pipe 1 config bw 128Kbit/s queue 4KB
queue 1 config pipe 1 mask dst-ip 0xffffffff queue 3KB
queue 1 ip from any to ${int_net} in recv ${ext_dev}
Lowering size of queues and pipes from 50 slots (which can give 75KB
with 1500B MTU) to 2 slots (or 3-4KBytes, I prefer specifying sizes
in bytes) will help TCP in `smooth' working by lowering maximum delay.
Just give it a try.
