The htmlized manpage is just close to those mentioned by Simon (you still need to read them, to do the limitations, or shaping, of the traffic). -- DoubleF No matter how subtle the wizard, a knife in the shoulder blades will seriously cramp his style. pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Networking and connection sharing
Hello. As I'm about to create a kind of a WAN in my area, and I'm having a specific problem, a friend adviced me to install FreeBsd. Problem is that this WAN would be connected to the internet with 1Mbit/s connection, and what I want is that connection to the Internet is shared to other users so that some of them get maximum of 64Kbit/s, some will get 128Kbit/s, and so on. I still want these other computers to be on WAN with 10/100 Mbits, so these limitations must be made on server. Is my problem solvable with FreeBSD (as my friend told me) or not?
