My question is obout performance of ipfw and dummynet with
this rules

pipe 101 ip from table(1) to any via em1
pipe 100 ip from any to table(1) xmit em1
pipe 200 ip from table(2) to any via em1
pipe 202 ip from any to table(2) xmit em1
pipe 301 ip from table(3) to any via em1
pipe 300 ip from any to table(3) xmit em1
pipe 401 ip from table(4) to any via em1
pipe 400 ip from any to table(4) xmit em1

..
pipe 202 config bw 512K mask dst-ip 0xffffffff
pipe 200 config bw 256K mask src-ip 0xffffffff
this rules are the same for the 4 table but with diffrent
speed :


'via' makes you match both 'recv' and 'xmit' packets. Perhaps this clears things up?
If you want to make this faster you could halve the number of rules you need to process, but it's not easy see from what you posted.
Example;


skipto 1000 xmit em1
skipto 2000 recv em1

1000 pipe 100 dst-ip table(1)
1001 pipe 202 dst-ip table(2) <-- also note the pipe number??
1002 pipe 300 dst-ip table(3)
1003 pipe 400 dst-ip table(4)
1999 accept

2000 pipe 101 src-ip table(1)
2001 pipe 200 src-ip table(2) <-- also note the pipe number??
2002 pipe 301 src-ip table(3)
2003 pipe 401 src-ip table(4)
2999 accept

Also, are you sure you want to swap 202 and 200 in your system? perhaps this adds to the problem?
