I try to limit the Bandwidth on my OpenBSD 3.7 (Release). But there

The traffic walk through the rules (log with tcpdump...), but there
isn't a limit of the inbound-Traffic. If I add "keep state" to it,
then there is a limit, but not the right (about factor 5 wrong).
You can only queue outgoing traffic with altq, not incoming.
You can sometimes achieve the same effect by queuing outgoing traffic
on a different interface (e.g. to queue internet->LAN bandwidth, queue
on the LAN interface), though that doesn't help for services running on
the box with altq.
If that's a real requirement, you may need some alternative (pure-ftpd,
perhaps? or run altq on a different machine to the services?)
