as kenjiro suggested, the right approach is to use WFQ, which is
available both in altq and dummynet -- for the latter,
you should use something like

	ipfw pipe 1 config bw 4Mbit/s
	ipfw queue 2 config pipe 1 mask src-ip 0xffffffff
	ipfw add queue 2 ip from ${my-net} to any out

and each of your user will share evenly the aggregate bandwidth
that you define for the pipe (4Mbit in the above example).

Yes i should update the documentation...
