      pfSense 2.0.2 Release, using "Single Lan multi Wan" wizard.

      I set the upload and download speed to  "23"  "Megabit" in the wizard.

      However, when I look at the queues, this is not what it is actually using:

      LAN, Bandwidth  [Blank    ] [Kbit/sec]

      • qInternet
        • Bandwidth [24117.248]  [kbit/sec]
        • Service Curve, Upper limit, m2  [24117.248Kb]
        • Service Curve, Link share, m2  [24117.248Kb]

      I have no idea where it is getting that number from. It doesn't even work out using binary (1024) math:

      24117.248Kb / 1024 = 23.552 Mb

      I don't know what the point would be of setting the shaper to think we have more bandwidth than we actually do.

      Though I am going to contact our ISP to get our exact bandwidth in bits/sec so I'm not dealing with 1000/1024 conversion issues.

        Ah, I see it is

        24117248 / 1024 / 1024 = 23

          Boy that is weird. The ISP says we are 23 * 1000 * 1000 or 23,000,000.

          So apparently I gotta convert from 1000 to 1024 for the shaper wizard?

          23,000,000 / 1024 = 22460.9375

          I paste that in:

          And the resulting config is different.

          What's going on here?
