I occassionally use Skype, not often enough to be a problem though.
You're correct, only one phone, this will be our only VOIP service. So,
you're saying edit the rule to make it only shape traffic going from and
to the "gizmo"? Sounds like a good idea, I wouldn't have thought of
that. We've got 512kbps on the upload side and 4mbps on the download
side, enabling traffic shaping alone brings it down to about
3mbps/300kbps, but that's still plenty of bandwidth for what we use the
net for. Thank you for the suggestions!
Thanks,

Depending on how many VoIP-Endpoints you have I would suggest modifying the
VoIP-Rule (It sounds that you only get one phone as you want to set it to about
90-128 kbit/s?) to just hold this one IP. Keep in mind that other programs
using the low delay flag in the IP-Header will go to this queue as well (I
think programs like Skype set this flag too, not sure, but there are definately
some that do it). If you have more phones use an Alias and multiply the
expected bandwidth with the number of phones you have for the queue ;-)
I would test first 90 kbit/s but 128 kbit/s should be pretty save, so if you're
not running low on bandwidth use 128 kbit/s for the queue.

Cool, sounds good, and thanks!
Quick question while on the topic of traffic shaping, anyone
know if the
"Generic" VOIP preset works with SunRocket? I just ordered their
service, haven't received anything in the mail to test it
with yet, so
just curious if anyone's had any experience with the "gizmo" behind a
pfSense box doing traffic shaping. SR says it should use
90kbps tops,
should I guarantee it 128kbps just to be on the safe side of things?
There's no way the "gizmo" is going in front of my pfSense,
it doesn't
handle bittorrent traffic to well, and the gizmo itself
actually reboots
during a firmware update, which momentarily would kill the internet.
Thanks again,
Kevin W.

Just a few comments... first off, the rules for Shareaza

seem to be identical, so you might choose to either remove
Shareaza, or
rename it to Gnutella 2- and have it shape TCP as well as

is pretty
common knowledge, couldn't this be added easily to the
wizard? I know

it could be added manually, but if it could be added easily to the

wanted to shape AIM traffic. Also, maybe you could add
more games to
the list? =) If you have spare time anyway, as I know
there are other

would be Lineage II: 2106, 2009, 7777 TCP Inbound and

GunZ Online
7700 UDP Inbound and Outbound; virtually any Blizzard game

of Warcraft: 3724 TCP In/Out. There are a bazillion more games that

could be added, but those are the ones I had to make queues
for myself
since they weren't in the magical wizard thing. One last thing, you
Sure could be, I don't have the funds or the time to
research each one
and add it ;) For that we rely on people that use pfSense and these
games to supply us with the details and request for addition.
might want to automatically move the queues with the huge
ranges to the
bottom of the priority list, as to not screw up the nice
ones that use
only one port inside of those huge ranges... example would be
battlefield 2 at UDP ports 1500 through 4999 or EQ at TCP
1024 through 6000.
That's not quite as easy to handle. I'll make a note in the wizard
about those games though.
