Brooks,

Actually I use the freebsd box as an router. I set the tcp window in 
another two windows box running iperf (iperf -w 5M).

Before I add in the pipes, the throughputs could reach 300M, but after
I config in the two pipes(200M bandwidth, 25ms delay), the throughput
degrade to about 5M. 

BTW, is there some limitations to tcp connections passing through a 
router?

Thanks,
--Jingmin
