maximum pipes in dummynet?

[Luigi Rizzo]

the problem is not in dummynet, it is in your ruleset that,
as you describe it, has to traverse up to 4000 rules before
packets are sent to the correct pipe.

If you have a finite set of pipe speeds, just use masks on the
ports

	ipfw add pipe 1 tcp from a 10000-10499 to 192.168.1.100 out
	ipfw add pipe 2 tcp from a 10500-10999 to 192.168.1.100 out
	ipfw add pipe 3 tcp from a 11000-11499 to 192.168.1.100 out
	ipfw add pipe 4 tcp from a 11500-11999 to 192.168.1.100 out
	ipfw pipe 1 config ... mask src-port 0xffff
	ipfw pipe 2 config ... mask src-port 0xffff
	ipfw pipe 3 config ... mask src-port 0xffff
	ipfw pipe 4 config ... mask src-port 0xffff

and you have your first 2000 pipes. Same for the other 2000

As usual, a careful reading of the ipfw manpage would help
for both your questions
