Thanks for your answers.

You can use the “ipfw pipe ” (and of course a few more lines to shape the traffic) to limit bandwidth from the command line. Man ipfw and read the section on pipe/Dummynet for more information. Something like this:

ipfw add pipe 1 ip from any to any in via en0
ipfw add pipe 2 ip from any to any in via en1

ipfw pipe 1 config mask src-ip 0xffffffff bw 128kbits/s
ipfw pipe 2 config mask dst-ip 0xffffffff bw 128kbits/s

Hope this helps,
