Did any of you ever get an answer on this? I just went to set up some basic PRIQ shaping for VoIP and noticed the same thing. All the documentation states the 1 is the highest priority, 7 lowest, but pfSense seems to set it the complete opposite.

Hi,

I tried this, but all the traffic went into the low priority queue.

Is this because I had an 'Allow Any Any' on the LAN interface firewall rules?  I have at least one network where the requirement is that the traffic be shaped only, no egress filtering - how would I do this?

Are you supposed to integrate the shaping rules into your regular firewall rules, or keep them separate in the Floating tab?

Thanks,

Todd

I'm not an expert by far but you'll find in the Firewall Rules -> Floating Rules where the wizard puts your VoIP queue rules. You can copy those and adjust them to make them work for FTP.

As far as I understand it, usually if there is no VoIP traffic, other traffic will be able to use the whole pipe. I didn't use CBQ though so it might vary by the type.

Do not hijack threads. Start a new thread to ask new questions.

Hello,

I just set floating rules for WAN and others interface but it doesn't have the result expected.
In fact, the bandwidth is too much limited but I'm looking for bandwidth guarantees.

What is the key to have bandwidth guarantees ?

Thanks,

Arnaud

No one?

UP !

Or you have UPnP enabled and he's transferring data through rules opened by UPnP which wouldn't get limits applied.

hi dreamslacker, i use 2.1-BETA AMD64 latest snapshot.
i follow your config example, but the limiter only work on LAN interface. i try to add limiter rule in WAN tab, but it won't work also.
do you have any suggestion? btw, i use squid proxy in transparant mode.

Anyone?

Thanks for your reply.

I got this idea from Kerio Control that does just what i said but kerio control is very expensive and you get free trial for 30 days only.

Other than the sticky above on this particular forum Id be clueless.

But I will add that Ive had great success with the qos that is part of the Siproxd package.  You have to enable it but works very well here.

Good Luck!

The answer sadly is 'it depends'.  DS3 lines (I'm taking a shot in the dark that is what you have) are pretty stable and have good SLAs.  Assuming you are going to an ethernet private line or other service of similar caliber, you can likely run up to the high 90s percent wise (97-99) asuming you have a good /stable carrier.

The short answer is as long as your limits / QoS rules 'kick-in' before the carrier's your all set.

have you researched the formal commercial support?
