Hi,

I have created a simple L7 container where I have put SIP and SkypeOut
traffic.

Then created a Queue called VoIP where this traffic is supposed to end
(HFSC with 10% reserved).

Then two floating rule to put all traffic (TCP and UDP) in and selected
the VoIP L7 container I have created.


No traffic seems to go in that queue ??

Any hints ?
Is L7 traffic shapping Out of order for the time beeing ?


Thanks.
May I had that my WLAN and LAN are bridged …
If this has any impact on the L7 Queuing.

… and that my other queue (non L7) are also working very correctly.


Thx.
And the system tunables have been set correctly…

net.link.bridge.pfil_member     Set to 0 to disable filtering on the
incoming and outgoing member interfaces.   0
net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge Set to 1 to enable filtering on the bridge
interface    1


No one has any feedback on L7 that and v.2.0.RC1 ?
Here is some feedback on my experience with the L7 filter:

With this morning's snapshot (05/04/2011 approximately 06:00 EST was the
time I initiated a snapshot update), I have experienced the L7 filter
significantly slowing web traffic on a system containing Squid and
Squidguard once there were more than a couple of users sending traffic
through the firewall. Disabling the firewall rule passing traffic to the L7 filter eliminated the bottleneck. Hardware is a a Core 2 Duo Processor, 4 Gigs memory, Supermicro Server Board, Intel Server NIC's. Also, no other traffic shaping other than a single L7 filter rule to block peer-to-peer
traffic was enabled.

I would recommend putting a firewall rule to send traffic to layer 7
on the outging side when squid is in place
or either just filter the tcp 80/443 through squid and the other
through layer7 with rules on the lan side.



That's a good idea. Squid is running on the pfsense box, however, so I'm not sure I can create explicit rules for either option. Maybe send ports 80 and 443 to 127.0.0.1?


On an alix system with a 2.0 RC1 update from last night (Wednesday 5/5/2011) and no squid or squidguard installed, the L7 filter set to block several peer-to-peer protocols completely bogged down Internet access, effectively disabling web, mail, and other traffic. Disabling the LAN rule that activated the L7 filter on that interface instantly re-enabled the normal passage of traffic.
