I've already posted this on the freebsd-questions mailing list, but I thought I could try it here too.
I'm using FreeBSD 7.0 with IPFW DUMMYNET enabled.
I've got a problem with creating a ruleset, which allows me to limit the overall bandwidth of a link and afterwards pass the packets to another pipe for processing.
So far I've got those rules:
What I want to add now, is the possibility to limit the bandwidth of the whole link, e.g. 100Mbit/s on em0.
I've tried to add a pipe:
$cmd pipe 50 config bw 100Mbit/s queue $queue_size
$cmd add pipe 50 all from any to any via $in_if
But when I have a look at the pipes with 'ipfw show' I can only see packets go through pipe 50 and nothing goes through the other pipes (which makes sense actually since IPFW works that way?).
i am running nat on my freeBSD and web/ftp server.
The rule allow ip from any to any must always be? or how? if i accept all packets to go on my ep0 which diverts all to my intranet it doesnt help, must the rule allow ip from any to any always be ?
even if many rules are between divert rule and... (3 Replies)
Is there a general rule I can apply when examining/editing ipfw entries?
Also, does each new entry have to have a unique rule number?
And, I think I can write a script to block code red infected machines (though I'm not sure it would do more than slim down my web server error message log),... (0 Replies)
Hi folks,
I am a Mac User, and have little knowledge on IPFW.
I have a set up at home where my computer (with 2 ethernet cards and static IP adresses) serves Internet to my family's computers.
I have already a script that will run automatically at login and called from Cron at certain... (2 Replies)
Hello
I need to limit the bandwidth from a list of ip addresses. I was planning to use the dummynet with lookup tables, so i took the example given in the manual pages:
ipfw pipe 1 config bw 1000Kbyte/s
ipfw pipe 4 config bw 4000Kbyte/s

ipfw table 1... (1 Reply)
Hello.
I hope you can help me please.
We are about to bring a few servers online which will be hosting different things...
For one server, it will be hosting a HTTPd, and just wanted to know whether these rules are correct that I have?
To ensure the right interfaces etc, here's a copy of... (1 Reply)
I am using dummynet in bridge mode. and its working fine.
Now I have built another box (freebsd 7.1) in router mode. On this box I have two NICs, one for lan and one for wan. both networks are segmented physically and logically i-e both interfaces have different ip pools and connected to... (0 Replies)
Hello,
I have a little problem with my server configuration.
So: I have two PC's with DHCP enable and both of them have two NIC's.
PC1 - le0 ADSL
PC1 - le1 192.168.10.1
PC2 - le0 192.168.10.10
PC2 - le1 192.168.20.1
One NIC on PC1 is connected to ADSL, another one have IP address... (3 Replies)
Hello, excuse my English. Please could tell me how I can pass this syntax for iptables to ipfw.
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m state --state NEW -m recent
--set --name thor --rdest -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --tcp-flag RST RST -m state --state
ESTABLISHED -m recent... (0 Replies)
Under Mountain Lion, I want logs from ipfw sent to ipfw.log instead of dumped in system.log I've tried to figure out how OSX handles logs, but... after going back and forth between a syslog.conf which does little if anything, a newsyslog.conf that seems to only handle rotation, an asl.conf that...

dummynet
DUMMYNET(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual DUMMYNET(4)NAME
dummynet -- traffic shaper, bandwidth manager and delay emulator
DESCRIPTION
The dummynet system facility permits the control of traffic going through the various network interfaces, by applying bandwidth and queue
size limitations, implementing different scheduling and queue management policies, and emulating delays and losses.
The user interface for dummynet is implemented by the ipfw(8) utility, so please refer to the ipfw(8) manpage for a complete description of
the dummynet capabilities and how to use it.
Kernel Options
The following options in the kernel configuration file are related to dummynet operation:
IPFIREWALL enable ipfirewall (required for dummynet)
IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE enable firewall output
IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT limit firewall output
DUMMYNET enable dummynet operation
HZ set the timer granularity
Generally, the following options are required:
options IPFIREWALL
options DUMMYNET
options HZ=1000 # strongly recommended
Additionally, one may want to increase the number of mbuf clusters (used to store network packets) according to the sum of the bandwidth-
delay products and queue sizes of all configured pipes.
SEE ALSO setsockopt(2), if_bridge(4), ip(4), ipfw(8), sysctl(8)HISTORY
The dummynet facility was initially implemented as a testing tool for TCP congestion control by Luigi Rizzo <luigi@iet.unipi.it>, as
described on ACM Computer Communication Review, Jan.97 issue. Later it has been modified to work at the IP and bridging levels, integrated
with the ipfw(4) packet filter, and extended to support multiple queueing and scheduling policies.
