Hi,folks,

I am thinking to use dummy net on Linux (I guess it's "ipfwadm").

I tried to "make xconfig" to enable "ipfwadm". But that item is dark
(doesn't allow me to set it). What other items should I enable to enable
that ?

Thanks!

Frank

Hi,

I was quite confused when I read your first posting. No need for ipfwadm in
2.4.x.
Try iptables ;-). Wait, don't recompile your kernel, it is propably on your
system.

I need to emulate a different bandwidth link, say 7Mbps instead of 10Mbps.

You cannot do this with a packet filter, because the filter is not
statefull. Alex
