So if I want to do testing between machine A and B I can route all of the traffic trough a machine C with dummynet and simulate the network environment that I need?
Basically I want to test/experiment with the send/receive settings within the servers. What about a hardware appliance? Could this be set up using a QOS policy or something similar with a switch? Thanks for the advice.

By redirecting traffic through a dummynet pipe with ipfw, you can simulate latency and packet loss. See the ipfw and dummynet manpages. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
