If you apply the my_test_queue to your rules it will stick
to the 5Mbit:
pass out on $test_if proto tcp from any to any port
$test_port queue my_test_queue
Keep in mind shaping only works for outbound packets. if you
want incoming to be shaped as well let all traffic go
through the machine and queue on both interfaces.
