Dear list, the documentation reads that traffic shaping requires to know the total bandwidth of a link. In my case I'm on an LTE link because I live on the countryside. Sometimes the link delivers 5 Mbps - on good days I get 20 Mbps.
Is there a way to use traffic shaping by prioritizing traffic? I would like to tune down bulk traffic (e.g. huge game updates that my kids do via Steam). My idea is to say: "if the link is saturated (queue piling up) then set certain priorities for LAN IP addresses and/or services". My router is located behind my ISPs router. Currently I'm using a pipe of 10 Mbps. But either that doesn't shape anything if the link goes below 10 Mbps. Or I'm wasting bandwidth because I can't go above 10 Mbps. I fear the worst. :) Thanks for your input anyway. …Christoph _______________________________________________ pfSense mailing list https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list Support the project with Gold! https://pfsense.org/gold
