Traffic Shaping

Hi all,

Please excuse the newbie type question:

What would I need in the way of hardware to run m0n0wall in the scenario listed below type of situation(ie Soekris 4801?):

- multiple workstations connecting wirelessly (54MB radios) to two or three ADSL feeds at a central location on the same ADSL vlan
- some workstations want priority traffic for VOiP ... others want priority for browsing or email
- gamers and file torrents are the lowest priority on either network going out through the same gateway

How can I traffic shape to send VOiP traffic to a specific ADSL modem if they are on the same vlan and gateway as the others?  Is this possible with m0n0wall on a soekris or similar router or do I need a hardware load balancing solution? Will m0n0wall work for me in this type of scenario?

Seems that's multi-WAN traffic shaper, m0n0wall is not of this kind.

You may want to checkout pfSense for multiple WAN balancing. It's m0n0wall on crack.  I'm battling it right now.  Overall it's great.  They are working on a brand new shaper, but it's very rough.  That's why I'm looking at m0nowall.

This sounds like you are a trying to be a wireless ISP?  or just sharing your connection with your neighbors?
