      I just purchased a PFSense firewall and have it running. I would like to limit all traffic going in/out of my network to say 20MB/sec for the total traffic combined. I'm not caring to limit a certain IP address but would rather look to have 20MB at one time useable by anyone. I added a rate limit but it doesn't seem to be really be working. What would be the best method to rate limit for my needs?

      I tried to add this queue to my WAN interface but it still seems to allow me to go over 20Mbps.

      QUEUE                BW SCH  PRI    PKTS  BYTES  DROP_P  DROP_B QLEN BORROW SUSPEN  P/S  B/S
      root_igb0          20M cbq    0  18020 1374804        0        0    0      0      0    2  349
      Internet          20M cbq        18020 1374804        0        0    0      0      0    2  349

      Thanks in advance.

        2 queues, 1 lan (download), 1 wan (upload). Set both to 20Mbit.

        Please correct any obvious misinformation in my posts.
