      Hi guys,
      Kindly let me if this is achievable with pfsense and how.

      I have a 50mb / 12mb conncetion from my ISP, I need to share this connection evenly between two IPs so that each gets 25mb / 6mb at any given time, this is regardless on the usage of any of the IPs at any given time, each should always get 25mb / 6mb (the bandwidth should be static for each IP).

      I have attached a sketch of my planned network, kindly let me know if its achievable and if yes, how can I do it.

      Regards

        Sure.  Make two 25/6 limiter pairs and put rules on LAN passing traffic from one of them for traffic sourced from one router into one limiter and traffic from the other into the other.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
