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

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 ? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
