How to shape equally 3 NIC?
-
Hello
I want to shape equally 3 NIC, i.e. I want to distribute evenly the bandwidth for the 3 NIC (LAN, OPT1 and OPT2), for all types of traffic and I also want to setup the DNS, HTTP and HTTPS services with the highest priorityThe network we have back home, I mean among us in a small village is in the following figure, all DHCP clients have a P2P DC++ (direct connect) client running on port 2000, which is connected to an internal P2P DC++ (direct connect) server (not accessible from the WWW; i.e. really internal), the only P2P client connected to the WWW is a EMULE server.The goals are:
1-if no one is trying to connect to WWW, then all the bandwidth should be allocated to the EMULE and/or to the DC++.
2-if no one from the OPT2(PFSENSE1) and OPT3(PFSENSE1) is trying to connect to WWW but if someone from the OPT1(PFSENSE1) ) is trying to connect WWW, then the bandwidth should be allocated to the OPT1(PFSENSE1).
3- the same has the 2 item but now instead of OPT1 is OPT2 or OPT3.
4- if someone from the OPT1(PFSENSE1), and the OPT2(PFSENSE1) and OPT3(PFSENSE1) is trying to connect WWW, then the bandwidth should be shared among all.
5- the DHCP clients on the PFSENSE2 and PFSENSE3 should have the same rights to access the WWW has the PFSENSE1 independently of being far from the gateway.
6- HTTP, HTTPs DNS, and ACK should have the highest priority.
7- I don’t want to assign static bandwidth limits (besides from the maximum the gateway can support) for each client and/or NIC, I want the limits to be dynamic allocated in order to have the full bandwidth of the gateway always used without compromising the HTTP service.I didn’t found any good tutorial on how to do it for several NICs, therefore what I want is some guidelines, some tips or even some tricks in order to accomplish this requirements.
Thankyou

This is a FAQ. pfSense only supports shaping of 2 nics currently (LAN + WAN or LAN + OPT WAN).

This is a FAQ. pfSense only supports shaping of 2 nics currently (LAN + WAN or LAN + OPT WAN).
If both the OPT1, OPT2 and OPT3 are bridged with the LAN then the LAN+WAN shaping will work?

Traffic shaping does not work with bridging currently.
