@jimp although i have no gateway specified, i wondered whether the IPV6 configuration type i have on the LAN interface, may be the culprit. I switched it from DHCP6 to None and... bingo!! The traffic shaping error message is gone. I don’t understand much ipv6 and i remembered having changed the default setting wthout really knowning what i was doing. but since i am not really using ipv6 on my network, i didn’t care too much. That was apparently a mistake. Not 100% sure setting it to none is the right thing to do but at least, i know that influences the shapping.

I did something simple after reading, I changed my floating rule to only match TCP/UDP instead of matching all - this seemed to do the trick - no more ICMP / ping packet loss. I still get a quick burst of latency when just starting a speedtest, but it seems that I have to drastically reduce the limiter all the way down to 250 Mbps to get rid of it. We'll see if it's noticeable in real life.

fq_Codel will not spread bandwidth equal among "users", but it generally does a decent job of this because of how it minimizing latency. If you absolutely need equality, floating rules can be configured to create a bucket per IP, where each bucket gets its own bandwidth.

The message is pretty clear, you can't use traffic shaping on ixl interfaces. Next time check the supported devices on altq before you buy a NIC.

@ghkrauss I'm having the same issue and error message. There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:182: no routing address with matching address family found. - The line in question reads [182]: pass out quick on { lagg0 } $GWWAN_DHCP6 inet6 from any to any tracker 1552158299 keep state dnqueue( 2,1) label "USER_RULE"

@ghkrauss I'm also receiving this error. The error is with my floating rule created to allow for traffic shaping with fq-codel. Did you every figure out why the error was happening?

@dtaht and/or @Rasool - do you guys have any ideas on this? Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you for your reply. is there any definitive guide here I can use to set up my own traffic shaping ? every one I've come across just points to the wizard and that doesn't cut it for me. I sort of have something hacked together for on wan but not really if it's working (massive bufferbloat on dslreport). but for the rest of interfaces lan, wifi and dns i don't know what to do. here's some screenshots I hope it helps.

I have the quantum 300, limit 20480, and flows 65535 It seems to be working now. Just had a crash when I tried to edit one of the limiters.
