Hi, There still seems to be a great deal of confusion over the Traffic Shaper in m0n0wall - and I include myself in that group. This is a shame as this is one of the really great features about m0n0wall. We're seriously considering implementing an Asterisk server ahere at our office to enable us to utilize various VOIP services (including some SIP providers) and would **really** like to get a functional Traffic Shaper running to ensure that our VOIP traffic gets the priority it needs. Unfortunately, there is no information in the docbook manual about the Traffic Shaper. :( I've noticed a number of questions from Asterisk and SIP VOIP users about how to configure the Traffic Shaper in m0n0wall to allow their VOIP to function optimally. Unfortunately, the answers seem to be rare and not (that I've seen) complete. Is there anyone out there who has a m0n0wall Traffic Shaper ruleset for VOIP usage? If there's no-one updating the manual with this information then I am willing to take this on, even though we don't use VOIP here ourselves yet, and I'll keep updating this section as we start to play ourselves. -- Regards, Hilton Travis Phone: +61 (0)7 3344 3889 (Brisbane, Australia) Phone: +61 (0)419 792 394 Manager, Quark IT http://www.quarkit.com.au Quark AudioVisual http://www.quarkav.net http://www.threatcode.com/ <-- its now time to shame poor coders into writing code that is acceptable for use on today's networks War doesn't determine who is right.
