Re: ipfw pipe show ... help with output is needed, please.

Second, there are seven headings (from BKT at the
left to Drp on the
right) but underneath those seven headings are _9_
values. What I really
want to know is how many packets I am droppinig
... but I can't tell which
of the fields are the "dropped" - I assume it is
the final number .. if
so, what is that measured in ? Packets ?

I can't help you with the rest of it, as I am
frequently just as baffled
by ipfw/dummynet as the next man ..

But the 7/9 thing I can explain.

Tot_pkt: 2970975653
bytes: 2649647615805

Pkt: 2
Byte: 2992


Ok, thank you - and then the final number in the
output is the number of dropped _packets_, right ?

(snip 'ipfw pipe list' paste)

Trust me: there will be a lot more connections set
up in those pipes than
that. I think it's just showing a snapshot. Or I
have got it all
completely wrong and it's not actually working at
all like I thought it
ought.

Who knows?


Can anyone clarify this ? Is 'ipfw pipe list' just
showing a snapshot, and when I see it listing a
"protocol", and port numbers, etc., it is still
applying to _all_ IP traffic, as I have my ipfw rule
phrased:

"from any to any" ?

Because I really want this dummynet pipe to throttle
_all_ traffic, and I only ever see it listing a "tcp"
protocol, and showing a tcp port number...

My second question was:

- what happens to the packets that show up in the
"Drp" column ? Am I losing connections/data/traffic,
or do those just get resent/reworked and nobody really
notices ?
