Hi David, Good question. To be clear, the traffic shaper plugin only effects traffic traversing the external interface, it has no effect on local to local traffic.
Given that, you pose an interesting idea, such as adding a traffic shaper config variable like SHAPER_P2P_LOCAL_HOSTS="", while doable it might offend the purists, let me consider that. Note this would effect time sensitive protocols like NTP and such for that IP address. As a test, give this a try... # remove t443 SHAPER_BULKDATA_PORTS="t20 t21 t25 t80 t110 t137:139 u137:139 t143 t465 t515 t993 t8080" # add t443 SHAPER_P2P_PORTS="t443" And describe any results (privately if you wish).
