I had forgotten that dummynet can be used with pf. Maybe i should start this
with a new subject but it is directly related in that I need bandwidth
control again that I don´t have since changing to pf.

o- What needs to be patched/done to make them work together
on Current and Releng?
o- Are you happier with the combination of dummynet with pf
than with IPFW?

DummyNet was one of the reasons that I was slow to leave IPFW.

Thanks and I am really not trying to hijack this thread, be glad to start a
new one.

so you actually can use DummyNet w/ pf to limit bandwidth per ip?

is there anyway to say.. ip address x must be used with MAC Address y
then follow the per ip bandwidth limit
if not then drop all traffic in and out?

you have to remember that mac is layer two and it can be easily spoofed.
so doing it that way might not be the best thing to do it. that's just
my two cents though.
