I would try that but if you have an upper limit set on all traffic - I
assume that LAN to LAN will be limted to that speed (2 Mbit for us). Thats
what I experience, and slower because of all the internet traffic competing
to the point of unusable connections to local servers for file storage.
We are trying to avoid the router being the pipe for that kind of traffic,
but we need it to work anyway for certain situations only. So if I have my
own rule can it be made not to be part of the overall traffic shaping speed
limit (bypass queue) since it really isn't heading to WAN at all.
