Multi Wan 95% percentile bandwidth limiter
-
Well it does ! Having ICMP traffic with high priority, I don't get packet loss on dpinger even if I probably have a lot of packet loss on the link itself (at least the link does not get shot every minutes or so by dpinger, unless it's completly down).
Btw, lines themselves don't suffer packet loss.It's kind of a mystery for me here. I think of two solutions:
1. Too much concurrent connections -> line quality drops ?
2. pfSense related misconfig…I'll check this next days again, brain is off for today.
Thanks anyway. -
Multi-WAN single LAN HFSC names queue thing seems to be working? It would be cool if there was some way to get some basic statistics. Like all 3 links loaded(download and upload) and maintaining a relatively stable ping.

Thanks anyway.So you have practically no ATM frame loss but you are constantly dropping IP packets regardless of link utilization?
I doubt the line cares about the number of connections. Maybe packets per second is your problem?

As I am trying to digest this solution, does anyone have a set of screen shots to guide the setup?
Also, does this solution achieve any improved load balancing across the available WANs or it is simply a method to maximize, with limits, the use of each WAN?
Thanks, -
I've wrote a quick tutorial from my multi WAN traffic shaper experience here: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=120380
Any improvements are welcome !And hey, thank you Harvy66 for your solution !
@Nullity: There's still some serious packet loss going on. You thought of maybe too much packets. Is there a rule of thumb for the packet number / bandwidth ?
