Forgot to mention that I use io_fast dummynet mode
and have increased pipe lengths:

net.inet.ip.dummynet.pipe_slot_limit=1000
net.inet.ip.dummynet.io_fast=1

Distinct pipes do really use long lengths.

Please explain how to bind them. I have 4-core boxes with 4 NICs grouped to 2 laggs,
one lagg(4) for uplink and another one for downlink.
