any progress on fixing traceroute?

it was reported on here earlier by someone else: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=126637.msg765566#msg765566
could it be issue with the way I have set up the firewall rules as floating (same as person in the post I linked to above)
If I do traceroute I see all the hops show up as the destination ip. -
I am not sure if it's IPFW/dummynet problem, I think it's should be reported on redmine as soon as new Limiters GUI is merged with master branch.
Do you really need this floating rule? -

If I do traceroute I see all the hops show up as the destination ip.It's unclear that this is a problem with limiters themselves. It only happens if you use a floating rule to assign the queue. If you use the default allow rule on the interface to assign the queue, the traceroute problem does not occur.
-
Only reason I have it as floating is because I have 6 vlans. I will set it one by one in each vlan and hope this goes away.

Yea, I hear you. Floating is much more convient. I have 5 local nets, although using interface specific rules I only bother with 4 of them. The last network is very low traffic and I don’t want to drop packets there anyway.
-
Just finished setting up the rules and traceroute is fixed now. :)

Sorry I am not on development releases but has limiter info page also been updated to show schedulers information?
like suggested earlier in this thread:

Not yet, that's gonna need to be a separate PR. I'm thinking of maybe making a Queue-like page for that instead of text-based readouts.

any idea when this will show up in 2.4 development snapshots?

Can someone please guide me how to setup the shellcmd if Im using more than 1 queue per pipe as in:
(I have placed different weights to identify where queues are placed)pipe 1 config bw 5000Kb queue 1 config pipe 1 weight 10 mask src-ip6 /128 src-ip 0xffffffff queue 2 config pipe 1 weight 20 mask src-ip6 /128 src-ip 0xffffffff pipe 2 config bw 1024Kb queue 3 config pipe 2 weight 30 mask dst-ip6 /128 dst-ip 0xffffffff queue 4 config pipe 2 weight 40 mask dst-ip6 /128 dst-ip 0xffffffffusing the setup above i get this when running ipfw sched show

im using this command:
ipfw sched 1 config pipe 1 type fq_codel && ipfw sched 2 config pipe 2 type fq_codelhope you guys can help me!

Could I download this to my box for testing, or to a test VM? I am super excited to have a less hacky way to implement fq_codel.

@cplmayo
Yes, you can. What is your pfSense version? -
@w0w I am on the latest release

@cplmayo
Install System_Patches package, go to System->Patches, Press Add New Patch button and copy-paste URL https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/compare/RELENG_2_4_3...mattund:RELENG_2_4_3.diff into URL/Commit ID field.
Also, write something into description field, press SAVE button. After that you will see you newly created patch in the list and Fetch button on the right, press it, then press appeared Test button, you should seePatch can be applied cleanly (detail) Patch can NOT be reverted cleanly (detail)If you see that, then you can press Apply button and enjoy your new Limiters
-
So after applying the patch do you just fill in the settings under limiters?
New here to traffic shaping so just looking for an easy way to decrease latency. Thanks.
