          I have not made it work but core team suggested that my limiter probably was inside another pipe. And therefore did not have all bandwith available. It makes sense.

            I have reopenen the bug. I cannot get a throughput of more than 15Mbipts in a limiter. As suggested I have increased "Queue size" under advanced. But when doing this I break the limiter somehox and it stop beeing updated.

              Well, I have experimented in the limiter on 2.1rc1 and I am able to limit my inbound all the way to my max at 50Mbits/s (at the office). I don't have a 2.0.3 that I am willing to test with ATM.

                Ok, thanks.
                What hardware do you use for router? And where did you buy?

                  I tested it on a HP DL380 G3 server (x32 install). I bought it from a local guy. I don't think the issue is hardware. If you can reach 50+ MBits without the limiter and are only hitting 10% usage at 15Mbits, then you should have enough horsepower for a 50Mbit/s connection. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 40% CPU for 50Mbits or so.

                    No, probably not. I got dubplex 200Mbitps. Max load is typically 180Mbitps in and 70Mbitps out. Single users can go up to 85Mbitps on there 100Mbit ports. CPU typically 5% max 10%

                    But when adding a limiter speed drops to about 15Mbitps for the user I apply the limiter to…

                    Just read these two post today. Aparently there is something wrong with the limiter config.

                    http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,62938.0.html (not all limiters show on limiter info)

                    Now I just have to buy some paid support so I can learn what to do about it.

                        No, unfortunately. I have given up using limiters on this particular production router.

                        I just bought some new routers and want to set one up with 2.1 and test that to see if issue with limiters has been solved in 2.1.
