    I used the traffic shaping wizard (multi_all.xml) but am confused by the results (firewall rules only on WAN interface).

      I used the 'multi_all' wizard to set up PRIQ traffic shaping and it all seemed to go fine. but I'm a bit confused by the results.

      Firstly it setup queues on all my interfaces, which is fine and expected.

      Q1: However for all of the LAN interfaces the default rule, qLink, has a lower priority (2) than qOthersLow (3). This doesn't seem correct? On the WAN interface the default rule, qDefault, has a priority of 3 and qOthersLow has 2, which is how I imagine it should be. Is this a bug or am I misunderstanding something?

      Q2: The floating firewall rules that it created are all on the WAN interface, so I'm not sure how they can affect traffic on the LAN interfaces and if they can't then why did it create queues on the LAN interfaces?

      Thanks for any insights.
