Bug #12661
closedIncrease Maximum Allowable Bandwidth on Limiters
0%
Description
This is a continuation from the topic discussed on the forum here:
https://forum.netgate.com/topic/168866/maximum-bandwidth-value-for-limiters
It appears that the current maximum allowable bandwidth limit for setting on traffic shaping limiters is about 4294 Mbit/s or 2^32 bits/s. I'm not sure if this is just a limit on the value that the input field supports or an actual hard limit of the limiter framework. With multi-gigabit connections becoming more common it would be great if allowable bandwidth setting on limiters could be updated to support bandwidth values of 10 Gbit/s and beyond.

I can confirm that setting a limiter of 5 gigabit produces the following error in the system logs:
/rc.filter_configure_sync: The command '/sbin/ipfw /tmp/rules.limiter' returned exit code '65', the output was 'Line 2: duplicate token, override bandwidth value! Line 2: bandwidth too large'VG Updated by Viktor Gurov over 4 years ago
current limiter maximums is 4Gb/s, see #7979

Since this is blocked on an upstream limitation, there isn't anything we can do here at the moment. Once it's fixed in FreeBSD we'll pick it up naturally.
