Title: traffic shaping - beginner to opnsense
Post by: reefer123 on June 04, 2025, 08:37:46 PM
a question:

playing around with traffic shaping "FQ_CoDel"

i did 2 sets of pipes (each set for up and down /load)

all of them have the FQ_CoDel as a scheduler type
one set have weight 100 the other set have weight 50

but in the docs it says "FQ_CoDel ignores the weight: set to 100" - so that means there is no priority between them ?
or the "100" one will be 1st in line and the "50" second ?

also the rules sequence for the 100 (set) are 1 and 2
and for the 50 (set) 11 and 12 - will that put the 100 (set) ahead ?



practically i want 2 pipes with one of them being more "important" then the other ...


thanks

Caveat emptor:

While there is an official guide (https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/shaper_bufferbloat.html), I recommend to work through this (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=46990.0) - and I really mean "through", because it does not only apply to IPv6, but also to specific rules for ICMPv4 traffic. Also, you will find that changing the traffic shaper sometimes requires a reboot before the settings are applied - this is not in the official guide.
