Traffic Shaper seems to be broken

@ermal:

Go to firewall->traffic shaper

• Choose by queue view
• Click any of on the WAN interfaces
• For the LAN listed there click 'clone shaper/queue on this interface'
• Go to the  By interface view
• Click LAN interface
• Change the scheduler type to PRIQ
• Change the bandwidth to the interface speed (100Mbit/s ….)
• Click save
• Apply settings

I've followed these directions, substituting my actual downlink speed (since I'm using single WAN, and no other local interfaces) and it has restored my downlink shaping as it was in earlier builds.

Have you entered your download speed instead of the 100Mbit in the quote?

[loftyDan]

I did.  But with you having multi-wan, you'd have to combine the downlink speeds, and as far as I understand, that would do nothing to prioritize one link as it got utilized (ie 1 low priority download taking up all of the 4 mb link and a 2nd high priority session on that same link wouldn't take priority because it would appear you still have 2 mb of bandwidth left).

[pki]

So how to set-up the shaper it does not exceed the down-rate on each wan interface?

[eri--]

There are different ways.
One i limiters to enforce on each wan the limits provided by your ISP and shaper to prioritize the upload.

You can create a set of queues on LAN as:

• main link 100mbit
  –WAN1 x mbits/s
  ----1stprio queue
  ----2ndprio queue
  --WAN2 y mbit/s
  ----1stprio queue
  ----2ndprio queue

and on each link categorize the traffic.

You can create a set of queues on LAN as:

• main link 100mbit
  –WAN1 x mbits/s
  ----1stprio queue
  ----2ndprio queue
  --WAN2 y mbit/s
  ----1stprio queue
  ----2ndprio queue

Do you mean this on limiter or in shaper?

I can't create the sub-queues on LAN with specified mbit/s :-/

Shaper and depending on your need change the shaper type to something else than PRIQ to enter bandwidth.

[pki]

OK, I have tried, I am not able to configure it.

I will give $20 for anyone who write a walkthrou how to configure the shaper to do download shaping on a one-LAN, two-WAN setup.

No one interested or not possible?  ;D

It's possible :)  Matter of time. We'll get info out there as we can.

OOok, waiting  ;D
