Defining shaper policies.

[ItsNotMe]

I've recently done my first install of OPNsense and am really impressed with the comprehensiveness of the solution.  Whilst I am new to this ecosystem, I'm very comfortable with firewalls broadly.

I'm trying to define a traffic shaping policy for my circumstances and can't find a guide that meets what I'm trying to do.  It's a common use case, so I am sure I'm just looking in all the wrong places.

I've defined a shaping policy to allow WF2Q for the internet connection:

• I have defined upload and download pipes of the internet connection
• I have defined any/any rules that apply the pipes to the WAN interface

The above works well.

I want to apply a weighting or prioritisation based on protocol or port.  This weighting should fall underneath the pipe limits such that the bandwidth available is weighted to the protocols.  I've seen guides that fairly share bandwidth to users, or dedicate bandwidth to protocols, but none that simply weight traffic going through the WAN interface.

For a simple idea of what I'm getting at, weighting could be: online gaming > media streaming > web browsing > FTP downloads.  If the link is unused, FTP should be able to consume the whole connection.  But if someone is streaming media, their experience should take priority over an FTP download.

Can you please offer any pointers?

TIA.
