Justin-Thanks for your suggestion...you were correct and it now works for the most part. I'm running a Voice over IP server (Asterisk) and I want to prioritize all of my VoIP traffic above everything else. Right now, if things on my network are uploading, it is shaping great and there are hardly any interruptions in voice traffic (although still some...). However, whenever the download spikes from nothing to maybe half of my total bandwidth, the voice traffic will get choppy for a second. I know you can't really control when you receive packets, however, this seems odd that I still have bandwidth available, but it's loosing packets. But for now, it's 1000 times better than no QoS, so I'm pretty happy. Let me know if anyone else is running a VoIP server and has any suggestions.

Rules outbound when shaping on a bridge never match. Someone more versed in the intricasies of m0n0wall can explain why, but it's been brought up on the list a few times. So, your WAN outbound rule can be re-written to be inbound on the OPT1 (or whatever your bridged interface is named). Try that and see if that fixes your issues.

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?
