      I am using PfSense for the first time in a class I am taking. I just need to know if PfSense can even do this task, and if so, where I can find help understanding it more. My question is, is there a way to throttle bandwidth for a range of IP addresses in a network. My goal is to take the maximum possible IP addresses provided, and split the IP's between the avaliable bandwidth unevenly.

        I know of at least two ways to do that.  And if the Limiter will do what you need, it's actually pretty easy.

          Thank you for a speedy response, I appreciate it. Now that I know it is a possibility, is there any sort of guide or walkthrough I could read up on to understand the process better?
