Yesterday I was showing a coworker how easy it is to use a PC with
2 ethernet interfaces, freesbie and dummynet to do traffic shaping,
introduce delays, random packet drops and such.
I boot the PC and start configuring the dummynet pipes, but I get
an unclear message from ipfw: protocol not supported.
After a while I have an illumination and loaded the dummynet KLD!
My collegue was _very_ impressed :-)
Now to the suggestion: /boot/loader.conf should load dummynet,
so to allow people not familiar with fbsd kernel and modules
to use the wonderful dummynet system.
actually there's a bug in freebsd when using dummynet and pf together
(no packets pass). We've encountered that in pfSense. I've talked about
that with luigi@, and he said probably this bug was introduced by pfil
integration.
So, I think we can specify in a FAQ "if you want to use dummynet,
kldload it" instead of loading it by default. I want also let freesbie
user try pf, if they want to.
Bye,
Dario
