I have a pfsense firewall setup that I am trying to prioritize Vonage VOIP traffic. I am replacing a M0n0wall firewall that had some traffic shaper config setup for the Vonage routers. I have 3 Vaonge routers carrying 5 phone lines across a 768KB/6MB (UP/DOWN) cable modem connection. I may be making this harder on myself than it really is but I am not sure what values to put where. I know that as a rule of thumb you only get %10 of the advertised bandwidth. For example, I have a 6 MB download speed but only get about 600kb/s download rate from extremely fast servers. Vonage advertizes 90kb/s bandwidth usage per line. This is actually a 8-10kb/s upload/download rate. When using the traffic shaper wizard, I can specify the provider and optionally a IP address or alias. I chose Vonage and an alias that includes all 3 routers. The next itme is reserved bandwidth for VOIP. I don't know what I need to put here. Is it the advertised speed 768KB or 76KB/s? I don't want to accidentally assign more bandwidth than I have since that renders the traffic shaper useless. I did not have major problems with my VOIP traffic with the M0n0wall. Since switching, I have had quite a bit of broken voice etc. Could someone drop me a couple of hints on this? I am using the 2-8-06 version from sullrich.
