General Discussion / QoS/shaping Guide?

« on: February 12, 2016, 11:44:27 pm »

Based on some forum searching, there used to be a wiki entry on the shaping/QoS but that link seems dead.

Since this is completely different from pfsense and there's no wizard, any pointers on how this works and how to configure?

My usual rules are pretty simple:

-prioritize icmp, dns, ssh, tcp ACKs, openvpn, IRC, jabber
-whatever magic the pfsense wizard applies for voip (port 5060 obviously, not sure what it's doing for the RTP streams, just using DSCP tags or something?)
-everything else is "normal"
-some things (BT, Usenet) get lower priority

Is this possible yet or wait for future releases?  Didn't see anything on the roadmap page.

Thanks for the reply!

The fact that your "partners" page links to other hardware vendors makes me feel a bit better.

I have pfsense all over the place, just downloaded opnsense to a VM last night to take a peek.  Love the UI, on the fence with not having a QoS "wizard".

Looks like a slightly more "loose" association than the pfsense/netgate situation...

Perhaps this forum will do for now, but it would be nice to have some user-reported hardware success/failure stories.

I've been looking for something small, dual LAN, and very cheap recently, and this looks awesome, but I'm not sure if it would be at all supported:

$110 as barebones (add disk and RAM) or $141 with 2GB RAM and 16GB SSD.

Considering you guys don't have a hardware "partner" to push users towards, setting up some kind of supported hardware FAQ or forum would sure be handy.  There's a lot of nutty hardware out there in the direct-from-China market, including stuff like these multi-LAN boxes:
