Hi Michael, I think what you are asking is: "I want to shape all traffic on the external interface such that all forwarded traffic has lower priority than any internal traffic."
In general, you are better off shaping the traffic "type" rather than traffic "source/destination", which is how our Traffic Shaper plugin works by default. But, there is a user configurable option SHAPER_P2P_HOSTS (disabled by default) in the configuration: Network tab -> Firewall Plugins: [ traffic-shaper ] If you define... -- SHAPER_P2P_HOSTS="192.168.101.0/24" -- then all traffic to and from that subnet will have the lowest priority, regardless of the traffic "type". Multiple subnets (or hosts) can be defined by space separating entries. Normally the SHAPER_P2P_HOSTS is used for a network backup server to the cloud or such and a single Ip address, but defining a full network(s) also works. I'm glad you asked this, this could be generally useful. Lonnie BTW, Michael Keuter and I recently noticed that traffic shaping on "server" NIC's (ex. Intel "igb" driver) was not working as well as expected, long story short, seems NIC packet "offloading" can interfere with traffic shaping. As such, we now automatically disable TSO, GSO and GRO on the shaped interface when shaping is enabled. This change is in the SVN and will appear with AstLinux 1.2.5 .
