      Hi,

      I would like to know if its possible to set a speed limit to a user/IP by/to a particular IP/IP range.

      I know its possible by traffic type, service, port, etc.

      What if I want to exclude an IP range (or set a different speed limit) from bandwidth management to a particular user/Ip.

      Any clue or help will be appreciated. Any other softwares?

      Thank you.

        I can't see why not.
        Set up your limiters as you would normally. Create your firewall rules that send traffic via the limiters. Simply configure the firewall rules appropriately, 'has destination: IP range you want limited'.

            Hmm, I'm not sure I haven't used limiters for while.
            Probably easiest to test it and see. I think JimP mentioned this relatively recently though, could be worth a search.

              Depends on how you make the limiters.

              I can break anything.

                    You make two limiters, one for inbound and one for outbound.  When you create them, use Source & Destination masks respectively to give each user his/her own pipe.  If you want everyone lumped into a single pipe then use None & None.

                    I can break anything.

                      Here is JimP's post I referred to:
                      http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,57351.msg306206.html#msg306206
                      It just confirms what Jason said above.  :)
