      Hi,

      It's not clear for me if traffic shaping is possible with vmxnet3 driver on pfsense?

      I've read old post arguing that it isn't supported, man altq(9) doesn't liste the vmxnet interface.
      But i can see a bug on redmine about it:
      https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/2010

      Anyone can confirm if it is working or not ?

      Best regards

        As far as I know, vmxnet3 via the official vmware tools doesn't support altq.

        I think vmxnet2 using the open-vm-tools package might, but I can't confirm or deny it either way 100%

        I wouldn't count on it being supported though.
