Per IP traffic shaping–share bandwith evenly between IP addresses??
-
Since the default LAN rule is used to apply this speed limit, what happens if I want full speed to a transfer on my NAS between two computers on my LAN? Is the speed limit also imposed on that transfer? In that scenario, Id want full gigabit speed of the switch, not the imposed 20000 kbits.
That's exactly what I'm experiancing. With limiters set and I ping my NAS while doing a speed test the latency is 200+.
-
Communications between two computers on the same network don't hit the firewall (or the limiter) at all. Look elsewhere for your throughput issues.
If you are talking about traffic between two interfaces on pfSense, just add a pass rule on the source interface with a destination of the other interface's INTF net, above the rule that sets the limiter, but with no limiter. ezpz.

Thanks it worked.
Now how do I dedicate a 2mb portion of 10mb for IAX2 Voip on Wan?
-
HFSC Shaping.

Thanks maybe you could shed some light on this?
We currently have an interim wifi link of 10mb but at the end of the month we should have 100mb fibre.
My setup is 1 wan 7 vlans
LAN - 10.0.1.0/24 (not used)
Vlan5 - 10.0.0.0/24 (Devices i.e printers AP switches etc)
Vlan4 - 172.0.0.0/24 (Ipphones)
Vlan10 - 10.0.10.0/24 (1st Floor of our company)
Vlan20 - 10.0.20.0/24 (2nd Floor of our company)
Vlan30 - 10.0.30.0/24 (Wifi Clients)
Vlan40 - 10.0.40.0/24 (1st Floor of Another Company)Currently limiting per ip on vlan10,20,30 to 2mb up & down.
Vlan40 is not currently being used.So when the 100mb fibre is installed my idea is to limit vlan40 to 10mb for all user within that lan for http etc, and the remaining 90mb bandwidth is for our company.
From that 90mb I need to allocated 2mb for Voip IAX2 trunk (UDP port 4569) for communication for my internal pbx to service provider.help would be greatly appreciated

Should probably start another thread.

I have attempted to document the process for a simple single lan single wan setup in screenshots. Click apply settings when presented with the option to do so. See if this does what you want.
at the post image i would like to ask advice about shaping
1. Bandwidth - what will i put here the ISP gave me or the actual download speed I get when I downloading a file?
- ISP Package says up to 5.5mbps
- Im getting 650kbps DL/300kbps UL during off-peak and 500kbps during peak hours (@no limit downloading)
2. Between (None, Destination, Source) what will be the good to choose if u distribute bandwidth evenly.
-
Put the bandwidth values you actually can achieve. That being said, complain to your ISP, that is a far cry from 5 Mb. You are not getting what you are paying for.
Re; 2. follow all the screenshots, each limiter entry has their own settings for that.
-
Pfsense has equivalent functionality with limiters.
http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Traffic_Shaping_Guide#Limiter
Limiters assign bandwidth to IP addresses. This means that I can't use the whole pipe if nobody else is using the connection. I originally used PFSense with limiters but everyone got pissed that their internet was only 1/10 the speed all the time. m0n0wall dynamically assigns bandwidth based on use. 90% of the time you get the whole connection, it only slows down when someone else is also using it.
I have implemented exactly what your talking about by using two parent limiters (up and down) and creating three child queues under each (the child queues are for each of my three lan subnets. The upload child queues have a 'source address' mask set and the download queues have the 'destination address' mask set.) I set the default pass rules for said subnets to use their appropriate child queues.
I do not know if the limiters will behave in the desired fashion if you are assigning traffic directly to a parent limiter, even with the mask set. At the very least, a single child queue, used in the way I am, would work.
i donot want to see dumb but where is the set-up script everybody is talking account?

I think they mean the wizards under Firewall: Traffic Shaper: Wizards…
If you want to put in place what foxale08 described you have to do it manually though...
Good luck!

I'm having nothing but issues with this, in any configuration going, either via interface queues or limiter queues. Just doesn't want to work.
Unfortunately like most open source projects theres plenty of info on the how and the theory, but little to none on actual implementation. ???Anyway, per-IP (or set of IP's set as Alias) on a transparent bridge:
-
Should there be queues on the inside NIC, outside NIC, bridge, or for all three? (in the traffic shaper GUI)
-
ACK Queue - where? (linked to above question)
-
At firewall rules, where should the queues be applied? On each interface, on the bridge, floating?
-
Are we setting the "ackqueue/queue" as a per queue thing without a ack queue specified, or specified?
-
If specified, which ACK? A global ACK queue, or one specific to each interface? Or one specific to each queue
-
Source/destination in firewall rules, where do we set the IP alias list? similar to above, on a specific interface or floating?
That'd be a good start for me i think…
Thanks in advance.

Just to clarify.
I can use one upload and one download limiter to cover my LAN / OPT1 /OPT2 interfaces and it will share the bandwidth evenly between all clients on each subnet, right?
Thanks.

On 2.2.3-RELEASE (amd64) it is a bug ???
Limiter enabled and set as in foxale08 posts… accessing from LAN a device on external IP:PORT is NOT WORKING… NAT Reflection probably broke ( NAT setting attached ).
Limiter disabled and accessing from LAN a device on external IP:PORT is WORKING OK.
-
so to clarify, when u enable limiters lan ips are unable to connect to systems located on the WAN subnet through NAT ??? ??? ??? …i have not had this issue but mabe i am interpreting this incorrectly, i have found that limiters do not function (for me) in the 2.2.3 build but it may be a misconfiguration on my part and im still experimenting with it (multi vlan + WPAD-DNS-DHCP + Squid 3 + squidguard + explicit proxy setup).
-
When I had limiters on NAT Reflection stopped working. I could no longer access internal servers via their external addresses. Turn off limiters and they would start working again. Limiters also break Squid Transparent proxy. There are several bugs in Redmine about this and I believe they are marked as targeted to be fixed in 2.3.
This was a no go for me since I rely on dyndns SRV records to route my kids internal computers to our external facing Minecraft servers. The solution at the start of this thread works great for sharing bandwidth but it broke too many things for me to be able to continue using it.

understood, it is worthwhile that these things are noted. mabe it could be posted up on the limiter doc so no one else is tripped up by this..
-
Limiters are currently completely broken as far as I'm concerned. Limiters breaking NAT is a known bug. Don't feel like looking it up.

hello guys i dont seem to find any answear to my problem
i have 2 wan interfaces 1 30mbit and 1 50 mbit
if i set the limiters i will set the total bandwith of the 2 lines or i have to create 2 sets of limiters?
if i set limiters it will make my nat records not working?
thank you in advance
