Change the value of net.inet.ip.dummynet.pipe_slot_limit

[rdsmith24]

I see a tip in the pfSense Docs to changing the net.inet.ip.dummynet.pipe_slot_limit to something different when making large queue for limiters. I have tried setting this variable in /boot/loader.conf.local and type putting a System Tunable as suggested in the documentation.

However when it do a sysctl -n net.inet.ip.dummynet.pipe_slot_limit all I get is 2000 no matter what I put in.

Any help appreciated.

Works fine on 2.4.5-p1:

What is your pfSense version/configuration?
