Awesome, thanks Perry.  It seems to flip back and forth every now and then now :)

In this case, since I'm not using sticky connections, I need to set up policy-based routing for certain types of connections, right?  Like ssh, https (443), etc?

Thanks for the reply, I already resolve the issue by removing the dns server on pfsense because it is the one using most of the cpu. are there any links for improvements of 1.2.1? :)

@XDJ:

@ermal:

Is it so hard to search/read othe rposts before posting?!

Gee, I never thought of that!  ???

Is it so hard to realize that maybe I did not find anything that (in my limited knowledge of the subject) appeared to apply to my specific situation?  If was very knowledgeable about Traffic Shaping and Queues I wouldn't have asked for help.

Makes me miss the warm and fuzzy treatment of the Smoothwall team!

How would you feel after reading the same question over and over and over again from people that didnt even try to search if their answer is around?
The forum has a search function for a reason ;)

(Also i dont think the smoothwall developers interact with their users directly without payment..)

Can i have some feedback from this?

Thanks for your response Ermal

In fact, I think about it, and I supose something like an accounting system.
I will search for something…
Meantime, , how can I restrict the dowload  bandwidth base on IP address?
Sorry for ask this, but I really a newbie and don't understand much about traffic shapping...

Thanks again!

now the traffic shaper are really mess… accessing the webGUI takes very long time.... so i can't remove the wizard  :'(  :'(  :'(  :'(  :'(

stechnique
well the goal was to approximate this with percentages
uasing a percentile seemed easier I only specified the values above
because I thought that may be better since the percentage values
are giving me such a hard time ( thinking by specifiying it I can make shure
the math of the child ques doesnt exceed 100% of the parent ques )
which should fix the errors I get

Ermal that is a most helpful explanation
hopefully this may help some others as well

Thank you muchly

I would love to help with this if anyone is interested.  There's not really any documentation needed any more than what is already here really.  I was using the latest 1.2 stable release, set 4/1 down/up, and set all upperlimit on the download to
m1=20%
d=12000 (12 seconds)
m2=10%

Or whatever you'd like for the values, and checkmark
*Random Early Detection
*Random Early Detection In and Out
*Explicit Congestion Notification
*This is a parent queue

I have a 1.72 P4 cpu, 1 gig ram, 35gb drive, and two 3COM NIC's, one for LAN, other for WAN.  I just wanted something simple, checkmark some things, and implement.  This seems to have done it.  I was missing the Random Early Detection, Random Early Detection In and Out, and Explicit Congestion Notification checkmarks, after that everything is working, and ha been running so far for 10 days, and 3.5 hours.  I connected it to a linksys wrt54g router with DD-WRT with dhcp relay set to point to the pfSense box, which is doing dhcp, and each client can connect and do whatever pretty much, and not have the WAN side go crazy with too much traffic.

If you'd like i will find my old post, copy/paste this -> to that, and you can close this one, so no duplicates.

Anyone? Any link?

Probably multicast issue, you have to allow that in the firewall.

Any outoging traffic on an interface where shaping occurs will be effected by the policy in place.
So the traffic leaving lan will be shaped the incoming on lan no.

(Beaware that this limit is removed on 1.3, just as an FYI).

Cheers for that - a very good link. Until the 'book' is finished it will have to do.

You haven't given anyone the details necessary to answer your question.  The number of people doing traffic shaping on multiple WANs is probably fairly small.  The knowledgeable people who may have read your initial question may have been to busy ask you for more basic details so they could offer a suggestion.

You did not explicitly identify which version of pfSense you are using.

You also pretty much answered yourself in your question by saying that you "know that Multi-WAN and Traffic shaping isn't working quite right."  I would bet you have already seen the answer in the forums or wiki to have come to that conclusion.

I do not have multiple WANs setup so I can't help you.  Your follow-up came off a little pushy, so I thought I would try to give you some possible reasons why you have not gotten a response.
