Traffic shape different subnets

Maaarten

Is it possible to shape different subnets?
Lets say
10.10.0.0 can use 40 %
10.20.0.0 can use 60 %

But when the 10.10.0.0 network has no traffic allow the 10.20.0.0 network to have 100% bandwidth ?

If this is possible can someone tell me how?

thanks

Yes it is.

First, create your queues using the scheduler you want: probably CBQ or HFSC.

For example, for CBQ:
WAN (for upload)
–-qSubnet1 (default, Bandwidth:40%, borrow)
---qSubnet2 (Bandwidth:60%, borrow)
LAN (for download)
---qSubnet1 (default, Bandwidth:40%, borrow)
---qSubnet2 (Bandwidth:60%, borrow)

Then, in your firewall rules, you specifiy qSubnet1 and qSubnet2 in the different rules.
Example of a rule:
Action: Pass
Source: 10.10.0.0/16
Destination: any
Queue: qSubnet1

Hope this helps.

i have a dual wan.
do i need to do it like this then?

WAN (for upload)
–-qSubnet1 (default, Bandwidth:40%, borrow)
---qSubnet2 (Bandwidth:60%, borrow)
WAN 2(for upload)
---qSubnet1 (default, Bandwidth:40%, borrow)
---qSubnet2 (Bandwidth:60%, borrow)

the firewall rules do i need to make them for wan and for lan?

thanks

Yes, you have to define the traffic shaping like that.

Regarding the rules, what I am currently doing is to specify on tab LAN (for download shaping) and on tab "Floating" (for upload shaping).
But, I think I read somewhere that it may be sufficient to only specify them on the "Floating" tab (you then set "Direction" to "any").
I haven't tested that.

Maybe someone else can confirm that.
