"Some" traffic not being limited by floating rule for fq_codel
-
Hello,
I just started up my first PFSense Box about a week ago and have been trying to set it up with some extra features. The first one being using traffic shaping with fq_codel to reduce bufferbloat. I am on a cable ISP and bufferbloat can be a problem sometimes.
I followed these slides for setting up my Traffic Shaping rules:
https://www.slideshare.net/NetgateUSA/pfsense-244-short-topic-miscellany-pfsense-hangout-august-2018I have a 940/35 WAN connection, however my upload normally tests around 42Mbps instead of 35. My issue is that my fq_codel limiter is not being used for "Some" traffic? I haven't really found a way to test this, but here's what I know. I am running a media server on my network and have a port for it open on my WAN. My goal is to limit upload bandwidth on my network to 20mbps. Yes my whole network. Just to make things simple for now.
Using these rules, when I speedtest on my desktop, I get hard capped at 20mbps like I should. Great! However, when I download a file from my media server over the WAN connection, it disregards my limiter and maxes out to my full 42 mbps. Yes I've tried resetting states, as well as rebooting pfsense completely before testing, I always get the same result.
Here is an imgur album of my rules, if anyone has any suggestions I appreciate it.
