Simple VoIP Queue

xibalba

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to get a simple VoIP going. I've used the Traffic Shaper Wizard to create my queues and rules. After setting up the queue I cannot see any data passing through it, even though I have a call going. I'm going to include some screen shots below showing what was done.

Now I am currently on a call between two phones. One phone is behind my pfSense router, the other is hooked up next to my desk. Quick overview of the toplogy

WAN -> LAN ( main network ) -> pfSense-WAN ( connected to company LAN )-> Private-LAN ( my private LAN at my desk )

So I can see data passing between my phone and our softswitch

SIP DATA:
07:00:53.967075 IP 209.203.x.x.5060 > 10.10.10.193.5060: SIP, length: 863
07:00:56.092746 IP 209.203.x.x.5060 > 10.10.10.224.5060: SIP, length: 683
07:00:56.107921 IP 10.10.10.224.5060 > 209.203.x.x.5060: SIP, length: 394

RTP DATA:
07:01:26.066155 IP 10.10.10.224.21724 > 209.203.x.x.22038: UDP, length 32
07:01:26.066380 IP 209.203.x.x.22038 > 10.10.10.224.21724: UDP, length 32

I run pfctl -vvs queue while the phone call is still active and here are the results

[admin@pfSense.reza.local]/root(43): pfctl -vvs queue

and here are my rules

Any help, tips, advice are certainly appreciated.

the IP address should be the internal IP, not an external one. also not sure what 209.203. is - were you snipping part of it for privacy?

xibalba

yes i was sniping it for privacy reasons. it's my work's ip range so i thought i should keep it private. i am basically trying to allocate all traffic to 209.203.x.y to the highest priority queue.

On the "Voice over IP" Traffic Shaper Wizard page should I not have entered in the IP address of the hosted pbx - 209.203.x.y ?

thanks for the assistance.

danswartz

No, that won't work. If you look at your two voip rules, you can see the IP you gave is in the wrong position both times. The IP in the wizard is supposed to be the internal IP. What I think you want to do is add a rule in the LAN section that explicitly permits access to your hosted pbx (make it protocol udp to be safe). In the advanced options for that rule you can select the queue to use and put down qVoip (or whatever it is called). In the wizard, just leave blank the IP address. NOTE: this is for 2.0, it may or may not be right for 1.2.3, which is what you are using? If so, it might still work, give it a try…

xibalba

Dan,
Thanks for your help, much appreciation . I swapped the IP in the SRC/DST in both rules and it's working now.

Hi,

This simple queue is working just fine, however I'm now wanting to give VoIP priority in the simple queues, i.e. in the "5mb pool A" or "5mb pool B", if someone is doing a download at 5mbps and someone tries to make a voip call, the user doing the download must be slowed down and the voip call be given preference within the queue.I have set up a simple queue for my sip phone with ip address 192.168.15.250. Using winbox, double clicking on the "Sip phone" que and then on the Traffic tab, the graph shows neither Tx nor Rx traffic. However, when I click on the Torch button, I can see TX rates of 80kbits and RX of about 80 k bits.
