ermal, would the new traffic shaper allow you to distribute evenly bandwidth to the active workstations. example i have 2mb bandwidth. first workstation 1 download a file so it gets the 2mb. after minute workstation 2 start download another file so workstation 1 gets 1mb and workstation 2 gets 1mb. is this possible with the new traffic shaper?

eri-- · Jul 9, 2008, 5:09 PM

What do you mean by load balance does not work?!

ccfiel · Jul 9, 2008, 6:32 PM

ermal, I have tried to enable the load balance but only the WAN1 will get all the load but it works well in 1.2 official release. is this also a bug? or just missing something?

ccfiel · Jul 11, 2008, 7:10 AM

ermal,
load balance is now working :) and sticky connection option appears :) i am now testing your traffic shaper. My first problem is that the system can only see one interface. is this normal?

Well i think the vx driver is not on the list of hardware interfaces that support ALTQ, the traffic shaper.

I searched a little bit and i cannot come to a conclusion can you please verify if it supports it or not?

Instructions to enter it on the list of supported ALTQ interfaces:
Go to Diagnostics->Edit File
load /etc/inc/interfaces.inc
search for "is_altq_capable" function
add it to the list there - after ,"ste" add the line ,"vx"
Save
Go to the traffic shaper and it should show the interfaces
Make a simple configuration and reload the rules.
If it does work report back so it get added to the list.
