There are accounting programs in the freebsd tree that do the accounting and the data read by them can be used to reassign the queues.

For example:
http://www.freshports.org/net-mgmt/netams/ does all o fthis already. It is coupled with ipfw(4) though.

It can use netgraph and you can use that coupled with
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=118727

ng_pf module written by me and you can collect statistics from PF.

With that you can build a utility which modifies the ruleset or creates rules on an anchor to take propper actions.

Or the propper solution convince people to open a bounty with enough backing for me to make it interact with PF+ALTQ dynamically.

Good day.

Mailig list or here is fine.  However, I generally pay more attention to the mailing list (so do other devs).

In terms of patches: http://devwiki.pfsense.org/SubmittingPatches

thanks sulrich,  i'm going to clean it all up and modify dyndns to support multiple wans.  then i'll submit my patch for approval.

This is how I have gotten to the files.
1. Enable SSH: go to 'Advanced' and then check 'Enable Secure Shell'.
2. Now open an ftp client and use SFTP from inside the LAN.
3. The username and password will be the same you use for the web GUI.
3. Set the root directory of the ftp client to / and you will have access to all files.

If you are using windows you might want to try one of the following:
http://www.webdrive.com/
http://www.sftpdrive.com/

These programs map the sftp to a drive letter and then you can access the files as if they are local.

Woops, this should be fixed now in upcoming snapshots.

Finally found the cause of the strange behaviour. It appears I had also a 1:1 NAT mapping and this conflicts with the Virtual IP (proxy arp). After looking after the firewall_virtual_ip_edit.php it appears it is checking the wrong field ($_POST['ipaddr']  instead of $_POST['subnet']) for this kind of errors and proceeds adding the virtual ip.

http://devwiki.pfsense.org/PfSenseDevHome has some build instructions as well.

@pcarter.bluelinevoip:

I've got no experience in XML or PHP however and was wondering if there was something like an idiot's guide to creating a pfsense package ?

I wish there was, someone is supposed to start work on one soon, so hopefully we'll see some good documentation coming together.

Looking at the files for existing packages is your best bet right now.

I got this fixed by installing the newest version of bsdinstaller from cvs.

Thanks.  I just fixed this issue.

@cmb:

Does that make a major, measurable difference? If so, I'm sure patches would be welcome.

sbin/pfctl -ss on my machine lasts about 5 seconds with the states table about 60K, 4 times is about 20 seconds.
reusing a file can reduces total time down to about 5 seconds.

have you finished the package ??

it downloads everything from cvs. leave it running overnight.

ok will post it

yeah i realise this just thought you might know a quick fix or something i was missing….
guess im on my own then....

i created another full bsd install on another comp instead and that did the trick for what i was after...
ta.

you find them on the pfsense develphers image
