Hi,
 I'm using state-policy if-bound. if-bound states are bound to interface so you 
need to add just one rule to your setup.

set state-policy if-bound
pass in 
quick 
on 
$int_if  
from 
<unlimited> 
to 
any  
keep 
state 
queue  unlimited_in
 
If you want to queue incoming traffic from users then you set limit on 
$ext_if.Outgoing traffic should be set to $int_if


Cheers

Subject: Queues and state


Hi 
Folks

We 
have 
been 
using 
pf 
on 
our 
campus 
firewall 
for 
many 
years 
now 
and  
are 
now 
looking 
at 
adding 
some 
queueing.

I 
know 
that 
one 
can 
only 
queue 
on 
the 
outbound 
interface.  
We 
want 
to  
queue 
traffic 
in 
both 
directions 
so 
we 
have 
to 
have 
two 
queues 
one 
on  
the 
external 
interface 
to 
queue 
outbound 
traffic 
and 
one 
on 
the  
internal 
interface 
to 
queue 
the 
incoming 
traffic.  
 
So 
far 
so 
good.  
 
What 
has 
me 
a 
little 
confused 
is 
how 
best 
to 
handle 
sessions 
with 
state.

we 
have 
a 
rule:
pass 
out 
quick 
on 
$ext_if  
from 
<unlimited> 
to 
any  
keep 
state 
queue  
unlimited_out

where 
unimited_out 
is 
defined 
as 
applying 
to 
$ext_if.

We 
have 
defined 
a 
queue 
unlimited_in 
on 
$int_if 
but 
what 
is 
the 
best  
way 
to 
assign 
the 
traffic 
to 
it?

After 
reading 
the 
docs 
I 
conclude 
that 
I 
should 
change 
the 
state  
policy 
to 
if_bound 
and 
add

pass 
out  
quick 
on 
$int_if  
from 
<unlimited> 
to 
any  
modulate 
state  
queue 
unlimited_out

Is 
this 
the 
best 
way 
to 
do 
it?

Thanks, 
Russell
