Description

At my clients places i am using pfSense 1.2.2 and 1.2.3 with multi-WAN/multi-LAN and its working fine so far.

The problem is, that they have on both WANs a variable bandwidth depending on the day and the daytime.

For example:
ISP 1: 8 am to 8 pm --> 512 kbit/s down and 256 kbit/s up; 8 pm to 8 am (and at weekends/holidays) --> 1024 kbit/s down and 512 kbit/s up
ISP 2: 8 am to 8 pm --> 1024 kbit/s down and 256 kbit/s up; 8 pm to 8 am (and at weekends/holidays) --> 2048 kbit/s down and 1024 kbit/s up

Now it would be necessary to have a traffic shaper which is able to be scheduled to days and times for exact shaping.

For shaping multi-WAN i'm already looking forward to 2.0, maybe this feature will be able to be built in, or in a more future version. For me it would be a high priority, because i could need it as soon as possible, but i am not the guy to decide, how much work it is.
