FreeBSD Traffic Shaping

[freebsd at top-consulting.net]

Hmm,

I've tried

ipfw pipe 2 config mask all bw 100Kbit/s
ipfw add 10 pipe 2 tcp from localip to any 80

it appears to be working but I don't have enough connections on right  
now to find out if it really gives 100kbit/sec to each or if it shares  
the bw

will come back with an update :)
