Limiter doesn't work with Steam

[strike101]

I setup Limiters per Ip to my clients… tested them individually and they all work ... youtube , google and facebook

speedtest and pfsense traffic graph , confirms both in and out limiter works

but the Steam client (by Valve) seems to be the only one ignoring the limiters , it's still hogging the bandwidth when download and updating games..

Its on alot of ports and protocols - That may be the reason not having much luck.
It might be designed to avoid being limited or blocked.

Setting up Limiters or Queues is VERY tricky without perfect understanding of what every setting does. You've most likely configured it wrong.
