Comedy Mikrotik option.

Seriously, that's what I'm using right now, and it works well enough 
for almost everything we do here. If you're trying to block P2P traffic, 
say, it catches most things. Doesn't (yet) detect and flag encrypted 
BitTorrent traffic, but you can spot that by looking at all the little 
teensy packets, and shut the user off by-hand (or maybe set up some sort 
of throttler based on packets-per-second, but I've always seen that 
cause more problems than it solves).

shaping solutions?

I've only used Packeteer in production (enterprise environment), but I'm 
always on the lookout for good other solutions.

Right now, I'm using BSD-based pfSense at home, and that seems to be 
working great.  Others I know are just using OpenBSD proper and just 
putting it in transparent mode.

I'd love to know what others find most appropriate for their 
environments, particularly in WISP sort of environments.

Are you using the optional QoS module that does layer 7 traffic  
shaping? I was using that at home but found the QoS in the Tomato  
firmware for Broadcom based APs to be more accurate. I haven't found  
any of the free open source Linux based firewalls to be very good at  
traffic shaping. I wish Packeteer had a software based solution  
(preferrably free).

Are you running the 2.0 beta of pfSense?
