Hi DZMM,
first of all, I want to thank you for having shared your experience. I started to study HFSC yesterday and I have zero experience in traffic shaping. I read the blog article you linked on your first post and I found it really interesting. I still have many questions about this topic, and the tests I've done until now were unsuccessful. But I will continue to study and practice.
That said, I have a couple of easy questions to submit to you. These are not related to my personal configuration, I will solve them by myself.
You previously said:
But from the official documentation I can see
Why have you enabled the Quick flag?
My second question is related to your solution about tagging traffic from the VLAN's specific rules and then process it from the floating rules. I like your idea, while I was checking on my pfSense instance I realized which below the Tag field, there is the Ackqueue/Queue one.
I'm wondering why haven't you used directly this instead of creating an additional floating rule? Would it behave the same?
