This should be in the next image, we (Scott) recently backported the
change from FreeBSD -CURRENT.
Oops, one more question regarding this comment above.
So, are you saying that I should be able to use the wizard to prioritize
VOIP traffic to/from my PPPOE/Lan connection?
Lastly, when you say the next image? You mean the next version release? Will
there be a WRAP version of this image? What version number should I look
for?
Thanks!
Todd

General comments about traffic shaping in PFSense from a fairly new user

This may sound like a put down and I don't mean it that way, I just want
you
to see it from another point of view.
Taken as such.
I setup the WRAP at home to burn it in before putting it in front of my
NOC
in a production environment. Since it was at home, I figured hey, what a
great chance to setup and try out the Traffic shaping since I am now part
of
the 80 percent (at least while testing) who uses Wan/Lan. Also figured I
may
replace IP Cop with PfSense at home on a WRAP just because it's smaller,
less noisy etc. and I like PfSense.
So then I ran into the issue where traffic shaping can't currently be used
with PPPOE. Not sure about other countries but at least in the US, many
DSL
offerings only offer PPPOE.
This should be in the next image, we (Scott) recently backported the
change from FreeBSD -CURRENT.
So, I am once again out of luck with the shaper. For me, the shaper has
been
non existent because I can't use it in any of my environments, office or
home.
I swear, I am not bitching at all, you guys are all great!! I only want
you
to see what I see which is that the shaping tools seem to only work for a
very small set of configurations at this point and maybe when working on
it
you can keep this in mind. I only mention it to you because you said you
will be working on it in the near future etc.
Absolutely. I'll be putting interface selection into 1.0, since I
can't fix some of the other stuff in time for 1.0.
I still need to re-flash my card with the latest version and continue with
the trouble shooting Dan and Scott were doing with me. Even if this does
work with my Wan/Lan setup, the real place I need it to work is at our
office which is a Bridging setup WAN/Opt1.
Thoughts? Concerns? Flames?
It may seem like comments go into a black hole, but I do listen to
them and do try and incorporate them when it makes sense. My biggest
concern right now is to not do anything that looks like a feature and
to write as little code as possible to fix what's currently broken so
I'm not rewriting gobs of code during the larger rewrite.
So to summarize stuff that I'm expecting to make into our 1.0 release:
LAN/WAN will no longer be hardcoded, interfaces will become
selectable - HOWEVER, you will still only be able to shape between two
interfaces
PPPOE support (already merged)
Any 'I do this and it blows up' fixes (although they might not be
appreciated, the queue addition removal I mentioned earlier)
FTP shaping (it'll be crude at best, but _should_ work)
One or two other minor items that slip my mind right now
Post 1.0...heh, too many items to list, although it probably won't be
the end-all :-/
