Heyas,

I'm running OpenBSD 3.1 with PF obviously.
I have a server behind the OBSD firewall that is constantly downloading.
However, when it begins to download, it tends to take all available
bandwidth. Is there a way to restrict the maximum size a host can use of the
bandwidth, or some way to shape the traffic?
ie. Of my 256k ADSL connection, I set the downloading server to use only 75%
of the available traffic, thereby leaving other PCs on the network a bit of
bandwidth to browse and do other things?

Thanks,

Lozzmo

ALTQ, see altq.conf(5) and /usr/share/altq
(and also <http://www.csl.sony.co.jp/person/kjc/kjc/software.html>)
