FW: Dummynet/Traffic Shaping problem

I would use trafshow (in ports/packages).  It has a command line ncurser
display, and will show each connection, and the speed.  Run this in one
window, and in the other you can play with the pipes.

Cheers,

Hi all,
Sorry I am repeating this message again.
I am still coiled up in it.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO ENABLE A FASTER CONNECTION TO SOME SITES USED FOR OFFICIAL
DUTIES?

MY PROBLEM?
I have a 128kb Internet access which gets very slow during peak hours.
I want to reserve/dedicate a protion (say 64kb) of this link to to some urls
which we use for official duties (eg 193.114.79.76) OR limit general
Internet usage to just a portion (say 64kb), hence making the remainder
exclusively available for such official duties.

This is what I did:

ipfw pipe 10 config bw 64kbit/s queue 15kbytes
ipfw queue 10 config weight 60 pipe 10
ipfw queue 10 ip from any to 193.114.79.76

I did not notice any change.
Is this configuration okay for my problem? Or can anyone help me with a
better one?
How can I confirm if a configuration is working properly?


Thanks
Abdul
