      Hello

      Is it possible to divide bandwidth to each computer on the internal network

      I will formulate better

      I have a 10 MB download

      4 to 10 computers Are connected at any given moment

      I want to give a specific computer bandwidth capacity I will decide

      Example
      Computer A receives bandwidth of 2 MB Download
      Computer B receives bandwidth of 1 MB Download
      Computer C receives bandwidth of 1 MB Download
      Computer D receives bandwidth of 3 MB Download

      Etc. etc. etc.

      I want to the restriction will be at the level of ip
      Any computer
      Receives the ip would be limited by the restriction triggered on the ip
      Does not matter what point It is connected

      How can I do it?

          Then you need to assign or make rule for that ip like this

            Might I jump in to ask a question that relates to this? Is the following possible:

            • My download server gets unlimited download unless my wife or me are using the internet;

            • Then the download server is automatically capped off during that time, and gets full bandwith again if neither my wife nor me are using the internet.

            The reason I ask is: currently I have to restrict the server bandwith manually in the morning (on the server self), and cancel that restriction at night (so it can download at full speed while we are sleeping).

            Sometimes my wife is up earlier than I am (so she will suffer from not having sufficient bandwith since that hasn't been restricted yet), the other times I simply forget to do it (and when I come home I meet an angry mrs.  :-[).

            Would this be possible?

            Thank you in advance for any reply  ;D

            Bye,

                    Many thanks
                    It works
                    Now anyone in my family can do what he wants on his computer without choke the line

                    Little question
                    The video is showing how to add the restrictions on the IP address

                    Where should select Line-in \ line-out
                    In the video he shows to choose first line-out \ Line-in

                    I tried it both ways
                    the option in the video work Excellent

                    So I guess it's only mistake of the Web page PFSENSE

                        You can use the traffic shaper to lower the priority of the protocol (bit torrent?) being used by your download server. Whenever any other traffic is present on your network during the day (you and/or your wife surfing, checking email, etc.), the download server throughput is suppressed. At night, when nothing else is using your bandwidth, the server gets full access.
