      hi again, i must admit that i´m not so sharp to this

      could someone please explain in simple steps how to configure this scenario in the traffic shaper, i know i ask of much, but i hope that someone of you will take the time to explain

      this is what i want to do, with the shaper

      i want to add a rule saying that the user from my lan example 192.168.3.192 only can have 50kb of internet upload and 100kb of internet download, is this possible and how, i know i have to make some kind of queue, but i dont know how to configure it?

      could anyway help, and explain this in every step?

      sincerely

        It isn`t possible.

          This is totally possible.  Simply create a queue or modify an existing one and set the bandwidth.  Then add a rule for that ip and point it to the queue.

          However, you'll have to do this for every ip, which if you're wanting to shape a class C thats 500 rules/queues ;)

              per user bandwidthlimits are only possible if you add queues with dedicated bandwidth as target for the sinngle ips. this has not been a design goal of the shaper for 1.0 (see other threads for more discussion about it).

                      I am wondering if this can be done a larger scale (say a full class B network) or more to make it easier to do it by vlan to limit all addresses per address to a fixed bandwidth limit.

                        Use aliases to define the items to shape and add rules using the alias as a source or destination.

                          Quick howto:
                          1. Define upload queue similar to p2pup, but m2 value schould contain limit: 40kB for example.
                          2. Define download queue similiar to p2pdown. I left m2 blank - do not limit download.
                          3. Define rule: use new queues and define source IP.
                          Direction from LAN to WAN.

                          Seems to work, but sometimes "forgots" about an IP.:
                          ntop shows traffic on this IP, but queue is empty.

                            Keep in mind that queues are assigned to traffic on openeing a new connection only. If there is an already established connection it will stay in the queue it once was assigned to until the connection times out or is shut down. If you want to apply changed traffic shaping settings to all your traffic you should reset the states at diagnostic>states, reset states after making changes to the traffic shaping (btw, there is a hint at the end of the shaper wizard about this).

                              thinking back at this on a larger network the network would be subnetted and I am wonder if it could be added for a future feature to throttle speed per host per subnet….so you would have rules by subnet besides the normal ones which would set for instance subnet a gets 20k/per client while subnet b gets 40k/per client...ect.

                                There's a limit of 256 queues in ALTQ, fyi.  We can change that if/when it becomes an issue (at this time pfsense rule generation performance will be a bottleneck long before you get to 256 queues though).
