      Re: [Change prio for specified traffic](not limiting bandwidth)

      Im searching for the same thing to priorize the traffic, not limit the bandwith (QoS) for it.
      How it can be done?

      PS.: I´m using Plus 22.05

      kind regards,

        @sysadminfromhell Yes. Use Traffic Shaper not a limiter.

        Netgate has a shaper recipe doc.

        To upgrade, select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings. When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, CPU, and/or disk speed.
        Only install packages for your version of pfSense.

            @sysadminfromhell In general, a limiter limits bandwidth. A shaper prioritizes packets. Sometimes they are used together.

            Netgate has a page on bufferbloat also, which uses both. I've not set that up myself, I've used the shaper with other methods, like PRIQ only prioritizes packets.

            To upgrade, select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings. When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, CPU, and/or disk speed.
