      I have been study and exploring about pfsense.  I like it very much but in a lost to configure and implement.

      Scenerio:
      Wan1 - 2M w Public IP Address
      Wan2 - 2M w Public IP Address

      There are 2 groups of user.

      Group1 -
      Utilize Wan1.
      Requires Public IP addressing with more dedicated bandwidth.  Most of the users are VPN users.  (4 users).
      Bandwidth shapping or limiter to assign each user to have each dedicate 0.5m in wan1..
      Video conferencing will be enforce in this line.

      Group2 - Requires internet connectivity.(50 users)
      Utilize Wan2.  NAT.
      Bandwidth shapping or limiter to assign this pool of user to cap at 256k max download for each user. 
      In case where this line fails, it can failover to wan1.
      Traffic Shapping will be enforce to give http and smtp pirority.  P2P will be cap or at least pirority.

      Question:
      1.  For Group1 user since they are public IP addressing user, is it possible to do a transparent shapping?  Which means that they will continue to use Public IP in their desktop but bandwidth is cap to 0.5m now.

      2.  Any suggestion in how to implement this?  Do I need to run 2 pfsense?

      Please be patience with me as I am still learning pfsense.  ;)

          I can use any version as long as it works. :)

          I am trying 1.2.3 as I understand developer still working on 2.0.

          Is it possible to tweak the bandwidth by IP address assign?

          User A to grant 0.5m.
          User B to grant 1m.

          I read the documentation….but i really get confused as it might covers certain portion and the portion might not be the release version you working on.

          Any advice will be appreciated.
