here you go… Also, what is the date of your snapshot? You may need to update. I know to get the Layer7 rules to work, you have to be on a snapshot that is less then 2 weeks old I think.
Also, you may want to post your /tmp/rules.debug as emarl usually requests them so he can look at whats going on.
Btw, there are extra fields on my rules because I'm using the IPv6 code set. This doesn't have anything to do with the shaper.

it was the original rc1 snapshot, im updating right now, lets see if changes something..

Hopefully Emarl will be able to help you out. I have a couple of ideas for you try, if they dont work the experts will have to assist.
I take it that your web traffic is going into the default que and not your p2p que?
Have you tried to put the IP address of your PS3 instead of the alias to see if that makes a difference?
I don't own a PS3 but does it use certain ports like xbox live does? If so try creating port rules and see.
Last thing I can think of to try, disable upnp and see that makes a difference.

The p2p queue is the default queue, but there a queue named default, web and other services are redirected to this queue

i will try

i dont know, but ea games use a specifc port, port 10000…

i will try it too
ps. After the update there is some activity on the qgames wan, before there was no activity at all…
-
No, i disabled UPnP and the alias, the problem persists
-
you did say that you see some traffic on your qgame que since the update. Could it be working but your expecting more traffic on the que?
This can be a pain but to verify, disconnect every device from your network expect 1 pc and the ps3. Give your pc a static IP and non-existing IPs for the gateway and DNS. Monitor your queues while the PS3 is online. Also if you console/ssh in and use the pftop tool(menu number 9) then right arrow over to View rules or label. This can help you figure out which rule catching your PS3 traffic.

There is no others devices conected on my network right now, is very clear that the traffic from the game (bad company 2 in this case) is passing thru the p2p queue, i also tried with gta iv, same result…
-
i'm out of ideas… Wish I could had help as I know how frustrating traffic shaper can be!! I've spend days on that thing...
-
yeah, im using pfsense for almost 3 years now, and i still dont fully understand how TS works, but thankyou very much for the help.
-
Try turning off (unchecking) the peer to peer catch all in the traffic shaping wizard in the P2P section. We had the same problem and that fixed it.
-
didn't work, can you send me your rules? Maybe i'm missing something…
One more thing, the problem seems to occur only with UDP traffic, the activity i'm seeing on the qgames wan is TCP traffic...
