Hello Everyone, We have a number of businesses that share a T1. Recently, we've installed an asterisk box and are using VOIP. We would like to prioritize voip traffic above everything else. Instead of making everyone reconfigure their servers, we decided to first try to do a transparent bridge. I believe the other option is a 1:1 Nat. (Maybe there is a better way?).
I have the bridge working. And, after going through the traffic shaper wizard, I am seeing packets flow into the qVOIPDown queue. But never in the qVOIPUp queue. I assume the rules are processed in order, so here are the voip rules which are at the top in the traffic shaper wizard. They look like this... LAN->WAN UDP LAN net * Port: 10000 - 20000 qVOIPUp/qVOIPDown WAN->LAN UDP * LAN net Port: 10000 - 20000 qVOIPDown/qVOIPUp When I do a packet capture on the pfsense bridge, this is what I see: 09:42:07.783542 IP 64.2.142.17.17500 > 65.116.16.98.11162: UDP, length 172 09:42:07.789149 IP 65.116.16.98.11162 > 64.2.142.17.17500: UDP, length 172 09:42:07.803118 IP 64.2.142.17.17500 > 65.116.16.98.11162: UDP, length 172 09:42:07.809237 IP 65.116.16.98.11162 > 64.2.142.17.17500: UDP, length 172 09:42:07.823247 IP 64.2.142.17.17500 > 65.116.16.98.11162: UDP, length 172 09:42:07.829204 IP 65.116.16.98.11162 > 64.2.142.17.17500: UDP, length 172 09:42:07.843189 IP 64.2.142.17.17500 > 65.116.16.98.11162: UDP, length 172 09:42:07.849575 IP 65.116.16.98.11162 > 64.2.142.17.17500: UDP, length 172 I see traffic in all the other "Up" queues, so it doesn't appear to be a problem in general. Is there any way for me to debug why a particular packet doesn't go into a particular queue? --- Oddly enough, we also have an asterisk provider which uses port 4569. I have two rules which mirror those above, but use port 4569. LAN->WAN UDP LAN net * Port: 4569 qVOIPUp/qVOIPDown WAN->LAN UDP * LAN net Port: 4569 qVOIPDown/qVOIPUp Packet Capture on pfsense bridge: 10:05:54.783763 IP 208.72.186.66.4569 > 65.116.16.98.4569: UDP, length 34 10:05:54.787024 IP 65.116.16.98.4569 > 208.72.186.66.4569: UDP, length 46 10:05:54.882939 IP 208.72.186.66.4569 > 65.116.16.98.4569: UDP, length 12 10:05:54.883056 IP 208.72.186.66.4569 > 65.116.16.98.4569: UDP, length 18 10:05:54.888387 IP 65.116.16.98.4569 > 208.72.186.66.4569: UDP, length 12 Unfortunately, in this case, neither up nor down ever goes into the VOIP Queues. So, it would be really helpful for me to be able to figure out why these packets aren't getting caught by these 4 rules. Any ideas? Am I missing something stupid? It's hard to tell for sure with other traffic on the T1, but it appears that the "Up" traffice goes through the qwandef queue which is fed by rules further down the list.
