| Hi everyone,

| I'm new to this list, I use ipfw+dummynet for traffic shaping.

| I have two users that share a same pipe of 128Kbit/s, so when a user is

| 
| Now my issue is, when both users use internet at the same time, let's say
| user A is using a P2P software and user B simply surfing the web.
| 
| Logicaly, user A is taking the whole bandwidth and user B is having issues
| surfing.
| 
| I want to guarantee at least 64K, so user A will have at least 64K when using
| internet.

| "use pf's borrow option".

There is a very good tutorial here:

The rules will guarantee that each user gets equal share of the 
available bandwidth ;)
