Is there a way to limit incoming traffic (bandwidth) using
ipfilter/ipfw or any such software tool?. I am running a mail
server and I pay per GB transfered. If I have my ISP do the
limiting, they charge extra $$ for it. I know I can limit
incoming mail size via the mail server. But still
ipfilter won't allow you to limit bandwidth, ipfw will.

Darren Reed, the owner of IPF is probably in the best position to answer
that question. I posed it a week ot two ago on the ipf mailing list.. I'm
waiting for a reply,
Does anyone know any hardware (of the size of a regular home
DSL router) that can give me a simple limit of X bps for two
IP addresses. I am running out of time and removing ipfilter
(which I use now) and adding ipfw, learning dummynet and then
figuring out will take time (at least 5 days

I think you are going to find that rate-limiting at the box won't
provide any fiscal relief. The packets have already traversed your
ISP's interface where the accounting is taking place.

That's bad. But if the machine doesn't accept more than N packets/sec,
why would the ISP

Maybe we could get Phil to add the answer to the FAQ.

This is what we settled with eventually, but

May be /usr/ports/sysutils/ipa is the answer to your problem.
Quote from port description:
ipa(8) allows to make IP accounting (network accounting) based on
FreeBSD IPv4/v6 Firewall (including IPFW2), OpenBSD Packet Filter and
IP Filter accounting rules on FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD.

not to stray too far, but if IPFW is set to allow all incoming packets and is
only used for shaping, and you have ipfilter handling nat, then it seems it
