[pfSense-discussion] Traffic Shaper

[Mojo Jojo]

I was told that the Traffic Shaper wizard is basically for the LAN interface 
and not really useful at this point for servers/devices on the OPT1 or 2 
interface.

So, I am wondering, if I put a machine on the LAN interface and setup 
Traffic shaper to prioritize traffic for that protocol/device, will it 
prioritize over just devices/systems on the LAN side or will it prioritize 
over everything including servers on the OPT2 interface?

Basically I need QOS for my VOIP, using the traffic shaper without the 
wizard hurts my head.

So, I am wondering if I should just run the traffic shaper wizard, 
prioritize VOIP and then plug all my VOIP devices (phones and Asterisk 
server) to the LAN interface.

Will this work or will it be useless since it's only prioritizing traffic on 
the LAN? Will the servers in the OPT 1 (DMZ) be able to step all over my 
phone calls coming from the LAN side?

Basically I am trying to make sure the VOIP services have priority, ALL the 
time. In case it helps, I have a transparent bridge setup on the OPT 1 
interface for my servers.

Thanks again!
