But I'm using FreeBSD 4.1.1 Is there anyway to avoice the death? I do need some lower bandwidth such as 1Mbit/s, 800Kbit/s. Is there a safe way to set queue? How about queue= 0? I remember last time I tried large queue size like 150Kbytes for 5M bandwidth, the machine died immediately. :( > On Tue, Oct 14, 2003 at 02:51:18PM -0500, mzu@cs.uh.edu wrote: > >> I have another program to change the bandwidth of each pipe every half >> an >> hour, with a lot of traffic going through the caches at the same time. >> So >> that the configeration for a pipe can change >> >> FROM: ipfw pipe 1 config bw 10Mbit/s queue 73Kbytes >> >> TO: ipfw pipe 1 config bw 2Mbit/s queue 25Kbytes >> >> Then in very short time, the machine is dead. > > What version of FreeBSD do You run with?
