Can i rate limit both ways, incomming and outgoing, the pf
documentation for queues sd only one way, but is there a way to keep
the system from downloading as much to it? so as to keep under my
quota going both ways?
Think about this, a bit. If you dont realize whats wrong with the
notation of "limiting" incoming traffic to "not download as much to it"
then well, shit.
I've never tried it so I could be way off, but has anyone thought about
doing the reverse of prioritizing ACKs to limit downloads? Specifically,
assign the ACKs to a cbq with a small fixed bandwidth so that the source
is fooled into thinking that you can't receive as fast as you really
can. With a little math you should be able to come up with a bandwidth
amount for ACKs that will result in the chocked download you require. Of
course, this assumes that your packets are max size and that this is TCP
traffic only.
Like I said, I've never tried it, but it may be worth a shot.
