However, It does not appear to be shaping the traffic at all. I have tried modifying the Pipe bandwidth so that it is very low and saving/applying the settings, and yet it does not effect the rate at which data is transferred to the Internet. I have also tried enabling the Filtered Bridge setting as I though it may need to pass traffic through the packet filter in order for Shaping to occur however that did not cause any change. > > Is it possible to Shape traffic through the bridge? If so, what am I missing? The following is my config (I have a 1280 Kbps symentrical fractional T1 connection): > <snip> > > Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. I'm not sure if this has any bearing on your problems but it is something I've been meaning to ask about for a while... During the brief switch to FreeBSD 5.2 a problem was identified in 1.2b5 where if Traffic Shaping was enabled on a M0n0wall box using Filtered Bridging then all the Firewall rules were ignored. As a result in 1.2b6 Traffic Shaping was automatically turned off when Filtered Bridging was enabled. "fixed: filtering bridge doesn't filter while the traffic shaper is enabled; traffic shaping for bridged links is disabled for the time being though (see FreeBSD PR kern/78090)" http://www.m0n0.ch/wall/beta.php However in the shift back to FreeBSD 4.11 in 1.2b8 I'm not sure if this change was removed to allow Filtered Bridging and Traffic Shaping to coexist once more, since it doesn't seem to be mentioned in the change log. So could this be the source of the problem ? Paul matchstick at oofg dot com |
