Download or upload eats all available bandwidth
-
I have pfsense box on a 300mhz celeron with 128MB RAM. It works great. I have my ipsec vpn to a watchguard soho 6 and an openvpn road warrior vpn.
The only problem I am having is that whenever anyone downloads or uploads anything, the traffic monitor maxes out. I am on a T1 with 1.5Mbps up and down. So if I download a file at 162kbs, my incomming connection is saturated at 1.5 Mbps for the duration of the download. The situation is the same for an upload. I was uploading something via sftp earlier today at 193 kbs and my upload was instantly maxed out.
Any ideas?

isnt that what you want?
are you looking for a trafficshaper?

What I'm saying though is that one station downloading a file at 160 kbs should not saturate the entire 1.5 Mbps. If I download a file, it basically makes web browsing unusable at any other workstation for the duration of the download.

Enable traffic shaping then :)
