    I have a 4-Modem Load Balancer setup with pfsense that is working great with multi-connections download. My only concern is that if I download files (4 modems at full speed), other computers in my network, when streaming videos (especially from youtube), are sacrificed. Is there a way to setup streaming videos as a priority for bandwidth allocation?

    Please help. Thanks.

        In 2.0 you can use the traffic shaper wizard to setup rules that will affect all WANs, and give some priority to different traffic.

        Though if your downloads are on port 80 and the streaming video is also on port 80, it may not really be possible to differentiate accurately in an easy way.
