Being selective on traffic type with 2 WAN interfaces
-
Hello everyone,
i hope this is the correct section of the forum to ask such a question.I have a scenario where i have 2 WAN interfaces with 2 different types of connectivity.
an aggregated 2xADSL 40/2mbit
a symmetric 34/34mbit.considering the type of traffic i'll have to deal with, i'd like to keep the symmetric line for low latency demanding application (gaming and voip)
while using the asymmetric line for those applications that don't need much upload but might be demanding in terms of download and would cause quality of the service to drop (HTTP downloads, p2p etc).i've configured the 2 WAN interfaces and created a group in the system->routing menu.
now by observing the graphs i notice that both gateways are used so i think load balancing is working fine.question is, how can i configure pfsense to behave as described above?
Really looking forward for your help

thank you very much for your reply.
just another quick question.
since (afaik) certain games are relying on UDP packets for communicating with the server, if i have a load balancing configuration and the rule for switching traffic from one to another triggers, what might it happen that the client gets dropped? especially in those games where the client is authenticated with the server, do you know if there are workarounds for this problem?
