      Hi, Does the firewall alias used in a traffic shaping rule (traffic penalty) apply individually or as a group?
      Let's say I want each client in my network to consume not more than 2mbps of 3mbps downlink. If you set the download limit to 2048kbps, does that divide it among the clients or does it limit each client to only 2mbps?
      Thanks

        I'm pretty sure I read some where before that it will apply too the group as in they will get 2 mbps to share .

          Thanks, I guess I'll just have to enter each client manually :(

            This is easier on 2.0, using limiters. There you can set a limiter which can apply either as a group, or individually per IP.
