You could specify 30Mbit as the size of the pipe, and fine tune the m1/m2/d parameters to account for the difference in the queues if you really wanted to get into it.

Thanks jimp! I'll try the book then  ;)

@jits: What you've done is fine. Good work on that. You want to make sure the tribox has that assigned bandwidth when it needs it. If you do a speed test, you'll see that your assigned bandwidth is there for the taking…until your tribox needs it, then the traffic will be shaped as you have configured it. Jits Awesome, thanks for the reply!

I found another cause for this error in this awesome guide for the pf filter """ realtime: the amount of bandwidth that is guaranteed to the queue no matter what any other queue needs. Realtime can be set from 0% to 80% of total connection bandwidth. Lets say you want to make sure that your web server gets 25KB/sec of bandwidth no matter what. Setting the realtime value will give the web server queue the bandwidth it needs even if other queues want to share its bandwidth. """ See the 80% limit of the realtime value.

I tried setting games to 7 (max) and lowering the ACK queues to 6, that didn't help either.

Any ideas?

The Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control HOWTO is the best reference I've found yet for the principles of traffic shaping. Try this section in particular for the explanation you're asking for: http://lartc.org/lartc.html#AEN691

yes I had the IP set and it didnt go to the voip queue till i checked off the ACK box…weird

Almost every dhcpd can do static leases. If you want to use pfsense for that you will be fine…

The trafficshaper in 1.2.3 is not MultiWAN-capable. You might consider taking a look at 2.0 (which is beta).

Actually… the traffic shaper wizard fails to create rules correctly.  So I guess I'll file a bug report, and have to manually create rules, which in 2.0 I have no freakin' clue how to do. Any help on describing the strong and weak points for each scheduler would be nice though.

I just bought a magicjack myself. I ordered a thin client which won't use much power. Go to http://www.magicjacksupport.com/ and click on the buy/sell directory. A user there sells preconfigured thin clients for about $50. His handle is alpman.

@dubwise: The 1.2.x traffic shaper will not work for more than one WAN and one LAN interface. I suspect their might be some room for a workaround, but I don't have a box to play on at the moment so I'll just shut the heck up. Sorry for the noise.

can you tell me how to get the packet rate and packet size? i did a pfctl -vsq $ pfctl -vsq queue root_le1 on le1 bandwidth 720Kb priority 0 {qwanRoot}   [ pkts:          0  bytes:          0  dropped pkts:      0 bytes:      0 ]   [ qlength:  0/ 50 ] queue  qwanRoot on le1 bandwidth 720Kb priority 0 {qwandef, qwanacks, qGamesUp, Http_up}   [ pkts:          0  bytes:          0  dropped pkts:      0 bytes:      0 ]   [ qlength:  0/ 50 ] queue  qwandef on le1 bandwidth 7.20Kb qlimit 500 hfsc( default realtime 7.20Kb )   [ pkts:    1165495  bytes:  863547699  dropped pkts:      0 bytes:      0 ]   [ qlength:  0/500 ] queue  qwanacks on le1 bandwidth 273.60Kb priority 7 hfsc( realtime 72Kb )   [ pkts:    281417  bytes:  18368398  dropped pkts:      0 bytes:      0 ]   [ qlength:  0/ 50 ] queue  qGamesUp on le1 bandwidth 273.60Kb priority 5 hfsc( realtime 20Kb )   [ pkts:      49416  bytes:    5935378  dropped pkts:      0 bytes:      0 ]   [ qlength:  0/ 50 ] queue  Http_up on le1 bandwidth 144Kb priority 4 hfsc( realtime 8Kb )   [ pkts:      11495  bytes:    7940269  dropped pkts:      0 bytes:      0 ]   [ qlength:  0/ 50 ] queue root_le0 on le0 bandwidth 6Mb priority 0 {qlanRoot}   [ pkts:          0  bytes:          0  dropped pkts:      0 bytes:      0 ]   [ qlength:  0/ 50 ] queue  qlanRoot on le0 bandwidth 6Mb priority 0 {qlandef, qlanacks, qGamesDown, http_down}   [ pkts:          0  bytes:          0  dropped pkts:      0 bytes:      0 ]   [ qlength:  0/ 50 ] queue  qlandef on le0 bandwidth 60Kb qlimit 500 hfsc( default realtime 60Kb )   [ pkts:    1001094  bytes:  366194265  dropped pkts:      0 bytes:      0 ]   [ qlength:  0/500 ] queue  qlanacks on le0 bandwidth 60Kb priority 7 hfsc( realtime 600Kb )   [ pkts:    407090  bytes:  23785904  dropped pkts:      0 bytes:      0 ]   [ qlength:  0/ 50 ] queue  qGamesDown on le0 bandwidth 1.20Mb priority 5 hfsc( realtime 30Kb )   [ pkts:      96985  bytes:  62311033  dropped pkts:      0 bytes:      0 ]   [ qlength:  0/ 50 ] queue  http_down on le0 bandwidth 1.20Mb priority 4 hfsc( realtime 200Kb )   [ pkts:      62172  bytes:  86175228  dropped pkts:      0 bytes:      0 ]   [ qlength:  0/ 50 ]
