ok so we have been using pfsense for a few years now for our "little" LAN-party (ca. 100 pple) and have now decided to upgrade our inside backbone between switches to 10Gbps and also bought a 10Gbps NIC for our pfsense. BUT the traffic shaper in pf is not really keen on going 10Gbps. so we are looking for a better alternative.

our setup
3 lines in (WAN) all 1000/100Mbps
1 LAN 10Gbps
1 Backbone switch 10Gbps
6 switches with one 10Gbps backbone ports

we depended a lot on the traffic shaper in pfsense to not let 1 PC ruin it for everyone and the wizard made it really easy.
do anyone have a backup file for the firewall in opnsense with the most played games we could borrow or do anyone have some suggestions for what or how we need to setup or be prepared for?

we need games and Voip to be favored over p2p and streaming.

all suggestions are welcome. :)

would it work if we made queues for games and give it a high prio and then add all the game ports to rules?

You can work with masks to evenly share the bandthwith for every client and enable CoDel to kill buffer bloat regarding gaming/voip. Should work :)
