I believe pfSense 1.2 is based on FreeBSD 6.2 not 4.x. # uname -a FreeBSD firewall1.rndcomputing.com 6.2-RELEASE-p11 FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p11 #0: Sun Feb 24 16:32:58 EST 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj.pfSense/usr/src/sys/pfSense.6 i386
I think it may have to due with the latency from the DSL line, you should play around with the shaping a bit more. It took a bit of tuning for me to get it where I like it. You may want to set higher priorities for traffic connections to youtube.com, etc... -----Original Message----- From: Graham Freeman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 6:59 PM To: support@pfsense.com Subject: Re: [pfSense Support] jerky network streaming?

We had huge problems with traffic shaping that I was only able to resolve by switching to m0n0wall v1.3b15 (based on FreeBSD 6.x, vs. the 1.2-stable series which is based on FreeBSD 4.x). Since I did that, performance has been great. It's disappointing, since I was enthused about using CARP on pfSense, but perhaps another day.
