for a very simple example of this point, imagine that these your only rules, and that, of course, you have a valid altq declaration already: --- pass all pass in on $e inet proto icmp from any to ($e:0) icmp-type 8 code 0 keep state queue pings --- when you receive a ping tha doesn't match an existing state it will create a state and queue outbound traffic into the queue "pings". all echo replies that leave the host will then be subject to the outbound queueing. if the queue 'pings' were rate limited to some very low number, like 8b/s, you would definately see the effect of that in the RTT. jared -- [ openbsd 3.8 GENERIC ( sep 10 ) // i386 ]
