Traffic limiter not affective
-
Do you have port forwards for your bittorrent ports? UPnP opening ports for bittorrent clients?
please explain little bit.
i try try to limit the bandwidth for single ip and its work but not for alieses, and if i add single single ips than the cpu usage goes to to 70 percent.
i need to limit bandwith for group of clients who are creating probelm for the valid trafic.
-
Are you trying to limit bittorrent? If so, do you have port forwards for specific bittorrent ports OR are you allowing bittorrent clients to use UPnP to open ports for themselves?
It matters because incoming connections won't be caught be the shaper rules if either of those conditions are true.
Actually, it's true for any time ports are forwarded from WAN to LAN regardless of protocol.
It looks like I might be confusing this with another thread that explicitly mentioned bittorrent. If so and I'm unnecessarily complicating things, my apologies.
There is no way the limiter is using 70% CPU. What else are you doing?

dear i dont care of bittorrent i just want to limit their bandwith so the other never disturb.

What you've done will do that.

dear derelict,
sorry for late reply, pf-sense is helping me lot. at LAN i fixed speed for all user and than give some managers to full access. it works for me.
now i have two problems
1. 1st torrent is still problem when i make test on clinet they are good with limit speed. but when i saw traffic graphs user are exceeding than the given limits i fixed 512 Kb but client showing 1.12 mbps. image attached
2. i want to monitor the live traffic like let say if a user goes for some site than is there any monitor who shows the live traffic with website names traffic. i have ntop are bandwidthd but they only show ips….
Regarding #1 i have attach images

The issue is if you have bittorrent configured to accept incoming connections you need to shape those differently.
This is usually accomplished by establishing a port in your client and putting a port forward in your firewall. Sometimes the port is opened automatically using UPnP - possibly without your knowledge (though with pfSense I'm pretty sure UPnP is off by default.)
All that said, traffic shaping is not perfect. It cannot control how much data is sent to you over the internet. It can only control how much of that received data is sent out your LAN port.

but we cannot go to clients one by one and enable or disable the port.
eventhough i apply layer 7 shaper but not affect. i limit speed per ip its also not affected.i want to give each ip 512kbps no matter he downloads or browse

If you didn't enable UPnP or set port forwards in pfsense there's nothing to do at the client. I'm just telling you my experience with rate-limiting bittorrent clients. Only you know how your network is configured.
