    @Nullity:

    Matching traffic is primarily a firewall rule issue not a queues issue.

    If floating rules did not work, there would be many people reporting problems, but they aren't…

    When did I say queues match traffic?

    I never said either that it doesnt work full stop, I said 2 things.

    1 - The FreeBSD documention does not state to use match rules for traffic classification for shaping purposes. So basically my results match what the developers of PF have documented.  But they do not match what the pfSense developers have documented.
    2 - It isnt working in my case with my configuration.

    It is a strange way to decide if something is a bug just based on that it works for many people.  It may make it less likely to be a bug if it affects less people but it doesnt make it impossible.

    As I said before to you KOM, you have not requested any details of me.  I have already provided lots of information.

    I provided the following.

    step by step process to get to where I am
    information on my network setup
    information on my wan setup
    what options I chose in the wizard
    the hardware I am using
    I even now have posted screenshots of my floating rules, which would only be requested when someone doubts what I am saying.

    Also this thread is different to the other thread and we should avoid mixing the 2 up.

    This thread was a simply question on the correct syntax to give to PF on how to match ack packets.

    I of course asked it as I mistakenly thought they were not been matched due to incorrect flags in the rules before I discovered it was the 'match' issue.

    Update on the issue, I think I found how to determine whether a queue will work or not.  First, here is one that is working.  This is in Diagnostics, Limiter Info.  Notice that each queue shows a speed next to it for a pipe:

    Now compare that to one that has broken outbound traffic.  The Outbound queue shows no speed

    So if you have issues where traffic isn’t flowing properly on a PFSense, check the queues to make sure they all have speeds associated with them.  If they don’t, go to the queue that isn’t working (usually easy to find by process of elimination by queue speed) and convert the values you set to Kbits instead of Mbits.  Hit save.  If you check Limiter Info again, and you see that the queues all have the correct speed values you should be OK to enable the firewall rule.

    Just a quick follow up on this.
    I've been doing some speed test on the upload & download with and without the limiters applied.

    With the limiters applied, the PC is restricted to the limits set.. so this does appear to be configured correctly.

    It is ok, this was just a broken laptop that someone stepped on. I was just bringing life to it. This stuff is more of a hobby. I will look into some other things. It is a huge step up from the Cisco Valet M10 v1 router. Thanks for all the help.

    Don't use the dedicated links wizard.  Use the other one instead, single-wan/multi-lan or whatever.

    Shrug, it's beta. Regardless, if you want limiters working with NAT, that's the only viable option.

    Also remember to enable the limiters before trying to use them. It's easy to overlook that 'enable' checkbox that needs to be set on the limiter settings.

    Thanks man, although,  I did search  - but the solutions provided were to situations quite unlike mine. And then there were differing opinions expressed within the threads. So,rather than bork up my network the nth time this weekend,  I thought I'd hazard a question here.

    I will definitely research what you suggested. Thanks again.

    The ISP replaced the modem and now the bandwidth is OK.  So the limiters were not to blame.

    Because you cannot control how packets arrive on an interface or in what order. All you can control is how they are sent.

    Downloads are managed with queuing on the destination/sending interface, such as LAN.

    I find naming things harder than all of the other problems in CS. Concurrency is trivial comparatively.

    "Splitting download bandwidth by groups and fairly sharing upload"?

    So after I did this I noticed a bunch of errors in the logs like:

    statepfsync_undefer_state: unable to find deferred

    Turns out this is a known bug with limiters and HA: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=108815.0

    Does anyone know of a similar guide for the same functionality without using limiters?

    For anyone unsure how to change a limiter's ID, just take an XML backup, open the XML backup, and find the parent limiter you're looking for by name, and change only the "number" field.

    Here's an example to change the id from 5:

    <queue><name>limit_name</name> <number>5</number></queue>

    to 7:

    <queue><name>limit_name</name> <number>7</number></queue>

    I chose numbers 6 and 7 when fixing my issue above because they were the next unused/available numbers numerically.
