@anand_phulwani
did you follw this simple tutorialhttps://www.reddit.com/r/PFSENSE/comments/3e67dk/flexible_vs_fixed_limiters_troubleshooting_with/?utm_source=amp&utm_medium=&utm_content=post_body

are you using em driver ??
create file
/boot/loader.conf.local - final - best result ever !
if_em_load="YES"
cc_htcp_load="YES"
hw.em.eee_setting="0"
hw.em.rx_process_limit="-1"
hw.em.txd="2048"
hw.em.rxd="2048"
net.link.ifqmaxlen="4096"the create like my setup

like my setup

Codellimiter on lan rules
in= upload-queue
out=download-queueif you wan't floating just make the same in floating instead of lan rules but you will have to set the direction to out
that's the best i can do
floating-1.png change black spot with Lan Net
floating-2.png change black spot with Desired Gateway

@Jimbohello
I have made the following for sharing bandwidth evenly- Upload Limiter
- Upload Queue
- Download Limiter
- Download Queue
- Floating Rule
but it still isn't working, i am using the traffic graphs / online web speedcheck to check for equal division, but it isn't happening.
Thanks again for so much help, you are the first person on the forum who is at least willing to discuss over it.
Thanks again,

@anand_phulwani
replace the scheduler for fd_codel instead of worst-caseeverything else seem perfecto
but this is for a max limit and not a per/user scenario.
you probably have to reset all state or reboot
if is still not working
try in lan first not floating

@anand_phulwani
as i understand this is a flexible limit base on per/user/max-limit-all
so if 6 pc download silmutanous pfsense should divise the max of 100M for these 6 pcif your looking to get a fix limit/per/user
you should check out de tuturial 1er scenario 'FIXED limit'ciao
BUT i MAY be Wrong ! ain't god ! :)

@Jimbohello said in Limit bandwidth per user or Share bandwidth evenly?:
so if 6 pc download silmutanous pfsense should divise the max of 100M for these 6 pc
This is exactly what i am looking for 100M divided equally between active clients.
replace the scheduler for fd_codel instead of worst-case
Done
you probably have to reset all state or reboot
I always reboot first to check.

@Jimbohello
I changed it to FQ_Codel, there wasn't any option of FD_Codel. -
sorry my mistake
now
im’ not sure if division would be equal. this will only allow a saruration to 100m and reduce bandwich to other pc if a added pc come into games. etc
you can see if limiter work in limiter info or staus

@anand_phulwani as your floating rule is direction is 'out', you need to swap your in/out pipes. Place download to the left.
The left slot is always in the same direction as the floating rule direction. In this case, 'out' to the LAN means traffic from the firewall to your LAN devices (download).
Also, use tail drop for your queues; if you check the limiter info you will find that codel doesn't work if you have codel on both queue management and limiter, i.e. it's empty.
Turn off ECN and leave the queue length at default/empty.
From my experience bandwidth needs to be about 90% of speed test results before the even distribution will work.
Lastly, FQ-Codel doesn't distribute bandwidth evenly so stick to WF2Q+. To prove this, start a torrent or a steam download on 1 computer and do a speed test on another. If it works correctly you'll get roughly even bandwidth. FQ_Codel in this scenario, in a 40MBps connection, will have 2-3MBps to the speedtest and the rest to the torrent.
