Hi Folks,

I have been trying to configure traffic shaping to limit bandwidth to clients on my transparent filtering bridge setup and have been noticing significant speed drop while testing with speed tests.

I do remember it being mentioned that traffic shaping is not possible on a transparent filtering bridge due to issues with pf and ipfw . But I did note another article mentioning this is now possible with the latest version of opnsense and shaping pipes/queues can be tagged within fw rules instead

So my question is, can anyone confirm if this is indeed supported - Any examples of config will be appreciated. If not what alternate ways are available for bandwidth limit to clients. Do note clients connect via eero wireless in bridged mode to the network that passes through the transparent filtering bridge.
 

I tested the pf traffic shaping recently and performance was not that great, its still experimental. I would not deploy it in production but rather wait.
