Is this stupid?
-
No not really…..
Does the LBR support QoS and can you configure it?? And does your ISP configure QoS on your external IP?
-
Unfortunately not. I have asked both these questions to them and the answer has been no.
Incidently, DSL1 and DSL2 are coming from different ISPs
-
Oh and just to make clear, that there will be no QoS on WAN2 of pfsense.
The QoS issue is between the hosts that use only WAN1 and what the LBR steals from WAN1.
-
Then if they do not support it, your QoS will only work to the WAN side of the PfSense…. No further...
If the LBR handles two different ISP, it will not be able to bond the two connections into one high speed connection. It will just do loadbalancing for you...(I believe), because your ISP should support bonding, and if it is two different isp's, then I would not think it does. Get rid of it....ASAP! Loadbalance with pfsense and route your VOIP over one DSL and rest of traffic over the other....

Supermule,
Thanks for your help but what you have said is incorrect with regards to the LBR. You're thinking of MLPPP bonding.
The LBR is provided by a 3rd party company that has developed special software. Their software allows the LBR to connect over 2 different ISPs, then create a virtual tunnel with twice the bandwidth. I've read reviews online and people are saying that in speedtests they are getting 1.5x - 2x the bandwidth.
I'll PM you the link to their website. I don't want to put the link here incase it gets flagged as spam..
Thanks

Oh and you're correct about the QoS thing. It's mainly upload bandwidth that I'm concerned about (As it's so little)

Sounds like Xrio but the website does state that their appliances can actually do some form of policy based routing.

it's not xrio but very similar to them
