Hello, Currently a friend of mine asked me to help out connecting him and 12 of his neighbors to the same Internet connection. Basically the "building" buys a decent internet connection and should be shared between them.
Now, I set up a few pfsense routers but the traffic shaper still is a bit of a gray area. What I would like to setup is the following: Every apartment get's a network cable and is connected to a switch in the basement. Every port on the switch has a different VLan configured In pfSense, I configure all the VLans as different OPT (Lan) Interfaces, everyone has their own /24 network and DHCP is enabled. Now what I want is that everyone should be able to consume the bandwidth available, but the more people at the same time use the Internet, the more it should get shaped in a fairly manner. If we have a 20mbit/1mbit connection: 2 People surfing, split 10mbit/512kbit if booth do big downloads for example. 10 People surfing, split 2mbit/100kbit if all do big downloads. How would this be done in a fair and especially reliable manner? Shaping? Limiters? ... The other question is, How to assure that browsing the net, skype and gaming (xbox, etc.) get's priority over downloads? Any help will be greatly appreciated, Thank you, Best, Ray
