Hello!

The system is:
FreeBSD mysystem 8.0-STABLE-201005 FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE-201005 #0: Wed Jul 28

There is firewall "ipfw3" from Luigi Rizzo with packet scheduling.
There is part of firewall config (tariff with 1Mbit/s speed, for example), 
below (the rules for another speeds are the same):
$IPFW pipe 11 config bw 1040Kbit/s mask dst-ip 0xffffffff
$IPFW pipe 12 config bw 1040Kbit/s mask src-ip 0xffffffff

Firstly, we have been tested firewall by ourself. And we had no any bad results 
or any problems or maybe we have not seen them in our synthetic tests. After 
that we have started this firewall in production. A few months later we 
received a message from our subscriber with speed 1Mbit/s. He had a problems 
with online game (big answer delay from the server). We spent a lot of time to 
solve this problem. Finaly we solved it. The reason was in packet scheduling:
1. we`ve tried to give to subscriber another channel (4Mbit/s) with packet 
scheduling - there are no such problems;
2. we`ve tried to "turn off" the packet scheduling on 1Mbit channel - there are 
no such problems.

The utilization of subscibers channel was always 0.4Mbit/s. But the traffic 
from this subscriber was go on under the packet scheduling rules. That`s very 
strange because of:
1. net.inet.ip.dummynet.io_fast=1;
2. subscribers channel utilization 0.4Mbit/s.

As I know with this option, with this firewall config and with this channel 
utilization (0.4Mbit/s) traffic should bypass the pipe without packet 
scheduling.

Why subscribers traffic with all these conditions doesn`t bypass through pipe 
without any delays? Why his traffic was on packet scheduling rules?
Thanks.
