Re: [pfSense Support] Traffic Shaper hints needed.
Have shell, Use shell. Was not aware the tarballs could be loaded from web interface. Last thing I remember reading said that the webupdate portions were not to be used until final 1.0. Since it seems to be recommended I would use the 2-8-06 iso and then update (using web interface) but it's not there anymore Robert On Tue, 2006-02-21 at 17:59 -0500, Scott Ullrich wrote: Why did you do that?

Re: [pfSense Support] Traffic Shaper hints needed.
I have not had a chance to load this yet. I did find an error in the system log related to the traffic shaping though. It is listed below. I will load the update after everyone leaves today. Are there any special steps to take after loading the update tarball? php: : There were error(s) loading the rules: pfctl: real-time sc exceeds 80% of the interface bandwidth (491.52Kb) /tmp/rules.debug:34: errors in queue definition pfctl: Syntax error in config file: pf rules not loaded - The line in question reads [ real-time sc exceeds 80% of the interface bandwidth (491.52Kb) /tmp/rules.debug]: Robert On Tue, 2006-02-21 at 14:19 -0500, Scott Ullrich wrote: http://www.pfsense.com/~sullrich/1.0-BETA1-TESTING-SNAPSHOT-2-20-06/ if you are running a full version, there are a couple of other testing directories in ~sullrich with other versions (embedded, etc).

In just about every traffic shaper related thread in either the lists or the forums (which I rarely visit - the list is the best place to get my attention). Where we're at today: We think we generate valid rules that should make HFSC/ALTQ do what we want it to do (there's one issue that was brought up in the forum that I think I know the fix to, but is unrelated to the "does it even work" question) We think there's a FreeBSD bug that is making ALTQ somewhat unhappy Along those lines, I'm working on hacking together an embedded OpenBSD version to do a cross platform check to validate either/both thoughts. --Bill - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [pfSense Support] Traffic Shaper hints needed.
Test that it "works". Make a phone call (or 2). Then start putting load on the internet connection. If all goes well you should be able to saturate the internet connection and be able to maintain and VOIP conversation (or 2).

Re: [pfSense Support] Traffic Shaper hints needed.
As for as the traffic shaper testing, what do you want to specifically test? I had a rule previously on the M0n0wall that included all traffic TCP/UDP/etc from the vonage routers IP addresses. Do you want the default protocol rules, the new changes for IP address/Alias, or is it even limited to VOIP? Willing to test, just want some direction Robert

Re: [pfSense Support] Traffic Shaper hints needed.
Alright, I have been schooled on connection terms I will look up more later. I have more of a hands on knowledge of these things and butchered it because of that. That you for the information on how to set the traffic shaper. I knew that I would have to adjust for the multiple lines. I was just not sure which value to use for one line. Again, thanks for the information and the work you put into this project. Robert On Tue, 2006-02-21 at 11:28 -0600, Bill Marquette wrote: > You've horribly butchered bits vs bytes.
