Deleting traffic shaper ports & queues does not take effect until reboot

[RickNY]

If, in the GUI, you delete pipes or queues from the traffic shaper, it appears that doing so does not actually flush them until a reboot is performed.  For example, if I delete a pipe from the GUI -- and then perform ipfw pipe show from a shell, the pipe I deleted is still there.  I can perform an ipfw pipe x flush to then actually delete it.  Is this expected behavior or is it a bug?

I am seeing the same behavior as well. I am on version 1.6.7.7 for what it's worth.

Hi guys,

This is expected, although not strictly correct. The unused pipes do not create problems. But let me talk to Ad to see what we can/should do here. :)


Cheers,
