      @eickst:

      Any updates on this feature?  Not multi-wan but at least multi-lan such as WAP and LAN.

      I'm probably going to just switch to the new beta of m0n0wall for that feature.

      This is really helpfull, I guess we have to question the whole project now that you are gone  :o

        I will use this as a catch all qos bountys section.

        I would join in with 200$ for a multi interfaces Qos and multi PPPoE Wan support. They are only useful together for me.
        Additionally, I would pay 100$ for per IP bandwith limitations in the traffic shaper.
        I know all this is not much for the lot of work it will require, but maybe others will join in.

        Greetings,

          Well I'm glad you think my comment was helpful, because I certainly intended for it to be! You shouldn't question the project though – It's a great project and I enjoy seeing it progress. Oh, and I'm not gone either :)

          eickst was looking for a multi-lan traffic shaper, and I suggested m0n0wall. I know that it supports multi-lan traffic shaping, so it could be of use to him.

          I also mentioned m0n0wall's new beta because it supports Atheros cards, and since I have an Atheros card, I haven't been able to use the latest version of m0n0wall since they switched back to 4.x since the 1.2x versions. I see that the new m0n0wall beta supports Atheros wireless cards, thus with no advancement in pfSense's multi-lan trafic shaper (and no complaints coming from me about that), I'm going to give m0n0wall a shot.

          It's like using the appropriate tool for the job.  Just because you choose to use a screwdriver to screw in a screw doesn't mean you think that hammers suck!

              Is this bounty still open?

              I'll pony up $100. An IP/MAC-based shaper would be my top request but any movement deserves a contribution.

              Feel free to punt this late post if I've missed an update elsewhere.

                Can someone please summerize (maybe you Bill), what the current status is and what the problems are?

                I think it would be easier for all to help….

                thank you!

                  Can someone advise if this bounty is still open?

                  I would like to post an additional 50$ bounty for Wulti-Wan traffic shaping, with individual-WAN traffic-shaping settings alongwith a feature that allows one to add an undefined type of traffic by port or originating/destination IP and create a custom queue for it e.g. one can allocate lower priority for a protocol that has not been specifically defined in gui…say rsync or a lower priority for my software repository server updating its various repos continuously.

                  With best regards.
                  Sanjay.

                    About the multi-wan, I got a question.

                    The multi-wan, would have two separate queue for each of the WAN interface, and they would be independent correct?

                    Is there any way that it could be possible to link them together?  Let's say I have two WAN, and both goes over the same line, so if one WAN eats up 500kbps, that is 500kbps less that will be allocated to the other WAN, is this possible?

                      Hi,

                      As asked before, is this bounty still open?, I need this feature and I'll like to post some money, but I didn't see any comment from the bounty leader for a long time.

                      Regards
                      Alfredo

                          This for sure is still a hot topic though not trivial to solve. Maybe we can discuss it during this years hackathon, which will take place in october, to get some things rolling.

                            Thanks Hoba,

                            And how can help with it?, I'm not an expert, but I can help testing and with some money, how can I send it?

                            Regards

                              Is multi-WAN traffic shaping still "under consideration"?

                              Also, is that under consideration for the feature of having a single queue for all outbound traffic? I would be happy enough for separate queues for each line and I feel that that should already be pretty easy to do (just change interface names and limits, reapply all rules)

                                  I started this thread about a year ago, but have not been keeping track of pfsense. For my original problem I ended up using m0n0wall and that has worked out well enough. I am not as actively involved in the purchase decision process of the company that needed this solution as I was a year ago. If this feature does eventually get implemented into pfsense I will try my best at ponying up the $200 I had originally pledged. Should anyone need to contact me about receiving my pledge please leave a comment on http://blog.wtip.net/

                                    I dont only want to renew my offer, I will raise it again. 400$ for Multi-Interface QoS in combination with PPPoE on OPT-Interfaces. Also I raise my bounty for per-IP Traffic Shaping to 200$.

                                      I'm also highly interested in having traffic shapper running in multiwan, I can offer US$50, I know this is not to much, but is what I can do, and this is for personal use, not for business.

                                      Saludos

                                        I'll put in 200$ for shaping unrestricted by number of WANs and LANs.

                                          Hi,

                                          I'm throwing in $500 on this one. I'm specifically interested in multiple LAN interface support. Wizard support for this is desired, but not required.

                                          I wanted to paypal the money right now, but was advised to wait. ;)

                                            Okay we are nearing completion of a COMPLETE traffic shaper overhaul.

                                            Ermal has done quite a bit of work to overhaul the shaper and make it multiple interface ready, adding back all ALTQ protocols and making it generally easier to edit queues and rules.

                                            So who is still in on this bounty?  The plans are to bring this into HEAD and RELENG_1.  We might be able to make a patch set available for 1.2 AFTER it has been tested in RELENG_1.
