1) and 3): the box does traffic accounting and shaping, so I need 
one_pass=0 to do both ngtee and pipes.
2) Hm, I'm not using "buckets", but rather 
net.inet.ip.dummynet.hash_size. It's at default, 64. I've tried setting 
net.inet.ip.dummynet.hash_size=65536 in sysctl.conf but somehow it was 
still 64 after reboot, so I left it at 64. Should I make it 128? 256? 
Does it matter that much? The load is at approx. 70-120 consumers per 
pipe, so I thought 64 bucket size was enough. Here's how I've been 
monitoring the pipe load interactively:

#!/usr/local/bin/bash

while :; do
         (
         buff="$(ipfw pipe show | grep -E '^[[:digit:]]+:' | sort -n 
-k8,8 -r)"
         online="$(mysql -Bs -u... -p... dbname -e"select count(*) from 
online")"
         clear
         echo "$buff"
         echo "$buff" | awk '{sum+=$8} END {printf "QLoad: %d/%d\n", 
sum, '"$online"'}'
         netstat -m | fgrep -w 'mbuf clusters in use'
         ) | dd 2>/dev/null
         if [ -t 0 ]; then
                 read -s -n 1 -t 15
         else
                 sleep 15
         fi
done
