Hi Mark, Bwm works very well on redhat or centos. It is better than Ipfw as it can control bandwidth by port, ip addresses, interface etc. Iptables are required for bwm as they do the marking of the packets. Forwarding on a linux box is east. Just edit the /etc/sysctl.conf and change the net.ipv4.ip_forward to 1 (enable forwarding). Ravi -----Original Message----- From: bwm...@li...

Subject: [bwm-tools-tech] what to run bwm on I read somewhere that bwm was mostly created under Ubuntu, but then I downloaded it, tried to get it working, but find out that Ubuntu 6 does not even have GCC on it, can't even find it on the CD.. Can someone tell me what distro your running on.. Does it run on FreeBSD? what does it use if it runs on BSD? Iptables as well? - maybe I'm not versed enough in BSD yet. Can someone tell me how bwm compares to ipfw on BSD? Thank you, Mark -I AM a newbie, but I have recompiled kernel and gotten ipfw to delay my pings, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to forward packets through the box. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
