      Just wanted to add a simple HFSC rule for VOIP and he shaper wizard generates an error :
      'There were error(s) loading the rules: pfctl: linkshare sc exceeds parent's sc - The line in question reads [0]:'

      The rule is 2500 kbps download WAN and 750 kbps upload a voip priority 50 kbps Up - 50 kbps Down.

      Is it me or a wizard bug ?

      UPDATE.

      Just used the traffic_shaper_wizard_multi_all.xml wizard rather than the previous traffic_shaper_wizard_dedicated.xml and that doesn't generate errors. I have one WAN and a few Vlans

      Having used the above setup, it appears to also limit the entire LAN to 2500 kbps which I don't want. I want to just prioritise VOIP 50 kbps and slow the other traffic. I like the analogy of a fire truck making a lane in busy traffic slowing or stopping the traffic !

        Forget to add the VOIP server IP, added it in and now appears to working as expected - needs more testing to be sure.
