      Hello fellow Netgate community members can you please help?

      What TOS would constitute full bandwidth use on pfSense?

      This is something like 0x30

      Per Netgate documentation it lists serval directives however it does not really explain the hierarchy to the provided items.

        As quoted
        “Class Selector (CS): These values are used for backward compatibility with IP precedence:
        CS1 (8): Typically used for background traffic.
        CS2 (16): Used for standard traffic.
        CS3 (24): Used for critical applications.
        CS4 (32): Used for real-time applications.
        CS5 (40): Used for signaling.
        CS6 (48): Used for network control.
        CS7 (56): Used for network control with the highest priority.”

        Does the following still apply 0x32 ? And or 0x30?

          pfSense doesn't use those values at all by default. You can use them in rules for shaper queues if you want to or set that for use in other devices the connection is going through.
