Description Cristian KLEIN 2007-09-24 00:10:01 UTC 
The handbook does not mention anything about how to configure dummynet or how to use tables in IPFW. I personally consider that these two things add a lot of value to IPFW and a least some examples must be included in the Handbook.

Fix: Apply the attached patch like this:

cd /usr/doc/books/handbook/firewalls
patch < ipfw-dummynet-tables.patch
cd ..
make

Comment 1 Cristian KLEIN 2007-09-24 00:40:27 UTC 
I'm really sorry for the noise. The patch does not specify how to load dummynet.
Please add the following line somewhere in section "firewalls-ipfw-dummynet":

<para>In order to use dummynet, you will have to load it by adding the
following line to <filename>/boot/loader.conf</filename>:</para>

<programlisting>dummynet_load="YES"</programlisting>
