Traffic shaping - one WAN, two LANs
-
Hi,
i'm totally in pfsense and don't know how to setup the traffic shaping for my network.My setup is a WAN connection with 6Mbit/s and two LANs (guest+private).
I want to setup the traffic shaper, my private LAN should always have the higher priority and should be able to use 90% of the WAN bandwidth every time.
The guest-LAN should also be able to use 90% of the WAN bandwidth, but only when my private LAN is not using the WAN bandwidth.
What kind of shaping thing is that?
Is it PRIQ or CBQ?
How should I start doing this?Thanks a lot for your help!

any Idea?

Currently, you cannot fairly share bandwidth between multiple interfaces. You could set one LAN interface with a bandwidth limit of 50% so that the other LAN will always have 50% available.
You can accomplish your goal of fair sharing (meaning both interfaces can fully utilize all unused bandwidth) but you need to use two instances of pfSense or pfSense + a managed switch.

pfSense + a managed switch.
How will this work?

You can search for other posts on the topic. I have no actual experience in this area.
I would assume that you would shape the traffic by IP/port on a single interface within pfSense, then the managed switch would split it off into the seperate LANs.
