Can someone make an patch for dummynet, so an user can't get maximum
bandwith. Queue work great for sharing same bandwidth, but an user can
get much banditdth if is not used but anothers.
So is wonderfull if i can put an paramaters for queue (like for pipe),
to limit bandwidth:
For example:
ipfw pipe 1 congig bw 1mbit/s
ipfw queue 1 config weight 10 pipe 1 bw 128kbits/s
ipfw queue 1 config weight 15 pipe 1 bw 256kbits/s

This mean that i have two queue that share same pipe. Bandwidth is
given accordint with their weight but no more that value indicated by
"bw" parameter. In my example queue 1 can get more than 128 kbits/s.
In this mode bandwidth is well splited but an user can't get all
bandidth if is alone on network.
