Agreed. That could be written better.
Indeed, most all the traffic shaping is for the Uplink case, and normally I
recommend the "Downlink Speed:" be set to [ Disabled ] . With that
Thanks Lonnie and others.
Interesting that its both ways. The explanation of ‘Applies to all outbound
traffic to/from the Hosts’ was a little confusing!
When I activated the inbound shaper, it shaped all traffic INCLUDING my media
which obviously caused more packet loss.
So if I was to use SHA
Throttling inbound traffic is often not much practical use since that commonly
involves just dropping packets, packets that *could* have been handled.
Special cases like guest WiFi access points, dropping packets is probably fine,
which can be commonly done in the external AP itself.
As far as
Lonnie,
I think Michael is asking about limiting inbound traffic, not outbound.
The SHAPER_P2P_HOSTS setting I think only applies to outbound traffic...
because as you state we implemented it for the case where you have a NAS
server on local network uploading to a cloud-based backup and we wanted
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
Yes more Traffic Shaping questions sorry.
Is there any way that I can shape certain traffic types only for Downstream?
Basically I want to be able to shape all other traffic incoming EXCEPT with a
destination of the Asterisk server EXT interface.
Is this possible?

I just wanted to check that the SHAPER defined Ports determine the drop
priority WITHIN the shaped envelope and RTP traffic is outside of the shaped
envelope.
Is this correct?
Thanks
