I will try, thanks for the info. Just to make sure I'm not dealing
with a bug can anyone try this??... just set a global limit to a
interface ($int_if), then do a ftp transfer to the gateway ( the one
with the PF+ALTQ) and time the put and get transfers with a large file.
When I get a download time of 3 minutes, the upload is of 10
seconds... :s
Hi,
Just a shot in the dark here. Maybe I totally misunderstood your
sentence:
"When I get a download time of 3 minutes, the upload is of 10
seconds..."
Did you mean:
"_While_ I get a download time of 3 minutes, the upload is of 10
seconds..."
If that's what you meant, isn't that behavior normal? Considering that
(as the PF user's guide puts it):
"Note that queueing is only useful for packets in
the outbound direction. Once a packet arrives on an interface in the
inbound direction it's already too late to queue it -- it's already
consumed network bandwidth to get to the interface that just received
it."
Sorry if my question is beside the point! :o)

Maybe you're right with the PF user's guide, anyway I explain better to
avoid confussions:
[Joe PC] -- [OpenBSD box] -- Internet,
lets take away the internet, only the Joe - box thing is the matter.
OpenBSD is doing nat as explained on my pf.conf in the original post of
this thread. The OpenBSD box also makes of FTP server, but I want a
limit of 100Kbs (simetrical 100Kbs) speaking of bits, and not bytes. So I
do the needed rules on pf.conf to make Joe get only 100Kbs of the
interface in OpenBSD box serving Joe PC.
If, from Joe PC, I get a file by ftp from the OpenBSD box, I get exactly
what I want, the 100Kb limit. (at the same time I'm not doing anything
with the net, like browsing or getting mail...)
If, from Joe PC, I put a file by ftp to OpenBSD box, then the problem
appears, and the speed ups in a factor of 40x. If I change the bandwidth
value on altq rule of pf.conf, then the speed of put a file on OpenBSD
box also changes, but is 40 times more speed. I mean, I want simetrical
100Kbs limit on the interface to Joe PC, can I have this setting?
I hope not to be making noise in the mail list.
Thanks for your time.
