Hi Douglas,

Hopefully that other people can help you better, but in the mean time I can
tell you how I did it on a linux based device recently for a customer.
At every network shaping is disabled by default, start a script runs and
does an ftp upload and a download from his own ftp server, the script takes
the transmission speeds, put them in the shaper config and starts the
shaper.

No clue on how to do that on m0n0wall /  BSD though , but it might give you
an idea to go to the right solution.

Regards,

Jurgen

Onderwerp: [m0n0wall] Traffic Shaping with WAN speeds changing daily

I have a question for anyone out there familiar with m0n0.

I have a situation where my router is travelling around the world.  
Every day it is in a different city. It is plugged in to a cable  
modem one day, a DSL the next, then a corporate LAN the next.

So each day the throughput of the upload and download is different.  
One day it's 1 Mbps up/.5 Mbps down...  the next day it's 512 up/256  
down. The next 10 Mbps up/10 Mbps down.

Everything works great but it is very hard to manage the traffic  
shaping because my downstream speed and upstream speed is different  
than the day before. I am not in the position to be able to monitor  
each internet connection I have each day and change the settings on  
m0n0.

I am trying to prioritize my VoIP traffic through the router.... I am  
using a single VoIP device located on my LAN.

Thanks for reading and any suggestions you might have!

Regards
