>Description: When one uses "ipfw pipe config" to configure delay for a dummynet pipe, dummynet translates the delay (in ms) to ticks and saves it in its data structure. When one uses "ipfw pipe show" expects the delay shown in ms, dummynet however returns the delay in ticks. When kern.hz is 1000, it is fine, but if hz is not 1000, the delay shown is confusing. The problem may exist since 8.1 rel. I checked 7.2 rel and 8.0 rel, dummynet does convert delay back to ms, but that conversion seems missing since dummyent was re-written. >How-To-Repeat: 1. On FreeBSD 8.2 or 8 stable, set "kern.hz=100" in /boot/loader.conf. 2. Load ipfw.ko and dummynet.ko 3. Then create a pipe and config the delay to 100, then run "ipfw pipe show", you will see the delay shown is "10 ms", but actual pipe delay is 100ms. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
