I thought altq(4) could also do most of what dummynet(4) does but based on a closer look, it seems that it can't do the packet delay stuff, though it seems to have fairly similar bandwidth management facilities. >is the main selling point for ipfw on my servers -- being able to rate >limit arbitrary IP addresses, port numbers, etc, both in terms of inbound >and outbound traffic is invaluable. I extensively use dummynet at work to simulate WANs (bandwidth limited and significant delays) between different servers in our models. It has proved invaluable for relicating field problems. -- Peter Jeremy
