pf's "borrow" equivalent

[eternityos at free.fr]

Hi!

Thank you for your answer, I seen this link, I already have most of this...
What i really need to know is the principle of having 2 persons using a same
pipe but having a repartited bandwidth when both are using internet and having
full bandwidth of this pipe when only one user is using this bandwidth.

I seen in the link you pointed this:

pipe 2 config queue QUEUE_DOWN bw BANDWIDTH_DOWN
queue 3 config queue QUEUE_DOWN pipe 2 mask dst-ip 0xffffffff weight 1 mask all
queue 4 config queue QUEUE_DOWN pipe 2 mask dst-ip 0xffffffff weight 100

Is this what I am looking for ? If yes, would this mean that in my case, I need
my users to have 2 queues of the same weight on one pipe ?

I have read the dummynet documentation and I'm still a bit confused about what
the weight is for...

Thanks a lot :)
Pierre.
