Hi,
I have a fresh FreeBSD 4.9 installation and have activated the ipfw and dum=
mynet kernel modules and configured two ports as a bridge. Everything works=
fine except one thing. When I add a pipe that does any kind of bw limiting=
, I can't get thru more than 5 mbit/s TCP on my bridged interface. UDP and =
packets with larger tcp windows size work better. One issue I found was the=
RTT. It's <1ms in all cases except when I add bw limiting, then it's up to=
15-20ms. Does the bw limiting add this much RTT? Here is the config and ip=
erf results.
ipfw -q flush
ipfw -q add allow ip from any to any via fxp0
ipfw -q add pipe 1 all from any to any via fxp1 in
ipfw -q add pipe 2 all from any to any via fxp2 in
ipfw -q pipe 1 config bw 20Mbit/s delay 0ms
ipfw -q pipe 2 config bw 20Mbit/s delay 0ms

If I do this:
ipfw -q flush
ipfw -q add allow ip from any to any via fxp0
ipfw -q add pipe 1 all from any to any via fxp1 in
ipfw -q add pipe 2 all from any to any via fxp2 in
ipfw -q pipe 1 config =20
ipfw -q pipe 2 config =20
I get this:

Another issue I have is the fact that the delay-function doesn't appear to =
work. (Or am I doing something wrong)
ipfw -q flush
ipfw -q add allow ip from any to any via fxp0
ipfw -q add pipe 1 all from any to any via fxp1 in
ipfw -q add pipe 2 all from any to any via fxp2 in
ipfw -q pipe 1 config delay 10ms
ipfw -q pipe 2 config delay 10ms

Ping statistics for 10.1.1.100:
Packets: Sent =3D 4, Received =3D 4, Lost =3D 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum =3D 11ms, Maximum =3D 15ms, Average =3D 12ms
If I normally have <1ms to this host and according to the config I should h=
ave 20ms.
I would really like some help on these issues.=20
