Allways someone different

Hi all.

Yep there is always someone that has to do things unlike everyone else
and I am that person.

I live remotely and have looked at Pfsense for traffic shaping as I have
a 2 way satellite feed. Here in Oz, its all I can get out back. Problem
is, the feed isn't consistant. I am meant to have 256/64 but at the
moment, its up to around 1.5mb/512

So if I set my incoming and outgoing limits, it can effectively cause
the traffic shaper to cut some of my bandwidth.


Is there a way to have PFSense detect THE TOTAL BEING USED and then
alter QUEUES from that? What I am trying to achieve is a percentage for
each queue depending on how much I have available coming in?

Trust me, at 256/64 its slow so anything more than that is very welcome
but if I fail to check, Pfsense cuts it back. If I simply turn off the
shaper, then some things hog all the bandwidth.
