probably this could help you:
http://devwiki.pfsense.org/TrafficShapingGuide

imself has not used traffic shaping yet
but if you would test it you could use pv with nc and dd
or whatever you like under linux to test the max -bw
like out of the box...
on system A     <==pfsensebox==>   on system B
10.0.0.2 - 10.0.0.1                      172.16.0.1 - 172.16.0.2
nc -l -p 3142|pv >>/dev/null   <=======> dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M |pv  |
nc 10.0.0.2 3142

change the ip in the example (10.0.0.2)  to your needs

hope that helps you...

only to be sure: the traffic that should getting shaped _must_ flow
trough the pfsense-box
and don't forget to reset the states before you test the traffic-shaping...
