Hello there,
I am new in this place, and I am enjoying the project so far very much!
But, as always, there comes questions in mind, when trying to accomodate a firewall to your special needs.
I am using a simple upload/download-pipe with a 95% bandwidth-throttle on my main LAN, for bufferbloat-congestion avoidance with a shaper. now I would like to add a limiter for my guest-lan that reserves a special amount of the bandwidth for the users, that also follows the main-bandwidth-pipe.
Imho this would ask for sort-of nested pipes, which don't exist yet, or have I overlooked something?
You can use queues inside Pipes to give bandwidth
yeah, but they don't count up for the total bandwidth for which my maximum-bandwidth rule is set...
qos-rules are obeyed once they hit any rule, just like firewall rules, qos rules should work different.
So, I can easily have qos-rules for different subnets active, but I don't see a way to limit a maximum-bandwidth for the wan-connection, with different limits or costs for subnets.
Two rules must come in effect for each subnet, main limit AND then subnet limit, and that can't be accomplished with it, as far as I reckon now.
Or is there a way?
