Re: Is there an API for ipfw?


hi,

although it is still in alpha quality, we have a library, named
libnetnice, which i think is the best match for your purpose.

http://www.netnice.org
http://sourceforge.net/projects/netnice

if interested, please let me know. or, you may join our libnetnice ML.

thanks,

Hi!

I'm writing an application that, needs to be able to quickly alter the bandwidth between another machine and the host.

The only way I can do that -- without another machine's cooperation -- is by using the firewall, such as the dummynet functionality of ipfw.

Is there any way to create/alter such a pipe from a C-program without using system("ipfw ....")?

If not ipfw, perhaps, other firewall modules in FreeBSD-6.x?

Thanks a lot!
