Asymmetric per IP traffic shaper

[damianhlozano]

Hello team!!

Is there a way to create an asymmetric per IP traffic shaper or a traffic shaping policy with different shapers for each direction?

For example, if we need to configure 10 Mbps for download per IP and 5 Mbps for upload per IP, is this possible? how?

The "Reverse shaper" option in traffic shaper policies, just let me select shared shapers

Firmware version: 7.4.4

Thanks in advance.

What is the use-case?  Do you actually have a bandwidth issue?  Most traffic shaping is unnecessary given modern bandwidth availability.  Depending on the application, dropping packets can also lead to more traffic on the network as the application re-transmits.

We have a Mikrotik which we is about to be changed for a Fortigate 60F, and I am trying to "copy" the settings.

For now, I used the download limit for both (download and upload) because I dont think we will have saturation in the upload, but I ask this just in case.

You can set different shapers in forwarding direction and reverse direction in a shaping-policy:
    set traffic-shaper <forwarding-shaper>
    set traffic-shaper-reverse <reverse-shaper>

Toshi, this is for shared shaper, not for per IP shaper

Thanks anyway

Ok, I missed that part. Probably it's not considered when it's limited to specific IPs.
