I understand (thanks to your explanations) but what I was thinking was not playing with the WAN side of the pipe which is shared, but with the interfaces between pfSense and the two sets of clients, which are not ADSL but traditional Ethernet links. What I'm in doubt about now, is where to put the limiter rule ? Should the limiter be seen by me as a way to guarantee bandwidth, in which case I should set it high an apply it on the classrooms interface, or should it be seen by me as a bandwidh limiter, in which case I set it low and apply it on the appartments interface ? > When you configure your system as described, you will rarely - if ever - > get exactly the results you expected.
