Hi all,

  wondering how to shape the traffic within a customer network, i was not
happy with pfsense wizard. ;-(

  But a simple solution saved my sleep nights, IPFW!
  Using the developers edition, i manually loaded the required kernel
modules after the boot.
  So, using old approach created a bandwidth pipe and queue like this below:


   - kldload -v /boot/kernel/ipfw.ko
   - kldload -v /boot/kernel/dummynet.ko
   - ipfw add pipe 1 ip from any to 192.168.0.0/24
   - ipfw pipe 1 config bw 250Kbit/s queue 70 mask dst-ip 0x000000ff


  Other rules can be added to expand this set.
  But this basic works well.

  Another sources to this can be found on this links:

  Hope this helps! ;-)
