Please! That explains why my traffic shaping was only marginally successful. I nicely limited incoming traffic, but only some of the outgoing traffic was being capped. It seems that some of the connects from fred are bound the the listenPort and the rest use a random port. I suspect that it varies with different types of connections. (query, announce, insert, ...) BTW, for those people who keep arguing that traffic shaping is crude and wasteful: I was able to trottle incoming packets from 100kbps to 15kbps(*) without dropping a packet. My firewall just queued and delayed the incoming packets to match the desired incoming rate and the TCP stack on the sending side automaticly adjusts to match that rate. (TCP is really pretty impressive when you think about it.) -Wayne *) Sorry I have a high bandwidth connection, but I pay by the Gig over a certain cap. _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
