Traffic Shaper and Bandwidth Reserves
-
Hi All. I'm new to PFSense and I have searched for answers to my question… please don't flame me if this has been asked before.
When I set a reserve in traffic shaper, is my total bandwidth limited by that amount permanently, even if the resource I've limited for is not in use?
I have a trixbox in my house and I've set aside 512k in the traffic shaper to make sure I don't get echo or delay. But when my phone is not in use, I'd like that bandwidth to be maximized wherever the network needs it (not that 512k is a deal breaker)

What you've done is fine. Good work on that. You want to make sure the tribox has that assigned bandwidth when it needs it. If you do a speed test, you'll see that your assigned bandwidth is there for the taking…until your tribox needs it, then the traffic will be shaped as you have configured it.
