Hello,
I'm noticing a strange behavior in userland ppp - when I download something
from ftp (or other extensive network use), other programs cannot get any chunk
of bandwidth, it just takes all the bandwidth and doesn't leave other programs
any. Even small packets like dns queries fail
I've tried to play with "set urgent" in ppp.conf and via the pppctl, but it
doesn't seem to help. (Which reminds me - how can I check the "urgent" list?)
I don't remember when I first noticed this behavior, but it wasn't this way
once.
The same computer in linux 2.2.x with their kernel ppp works as expected:
when something is using the network extensively, it's slow, but works for other
apps.
In freebsd, however, every program I tried fails after a timeout.
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong?
