      Hello

      Maybe someone can explain some general definitions.

      Under Rules there ist the column Queue. There is written qACK/qGames . What thas this mean.
      Sometimes its only qGames written there. Maybe someone can explain this to me.

      I use Pfsense 2 with Traffic Shaper

        TCP traffic needs to acknowledge that it received a packet. That is what the qAcks is for. UDP traffic doesn't acknowledge that it received a packet. If you look at the rules you will see that TCP traffic uses qACKs/qGames while the UDP traffic only uses the qGames queue.
