Upload shaping - what is wrong in my configuration

hi Community!

I have a problem with setting up traffic shaping on my UTM. I want to restrict the bandwidth for my Synology Diskstation, especially the upload bandwidth to my Amazon and Google Drives. I also read a few forum posts that describes how it's done. But still my Diskstation is using more upload bandwidth than I set up on my UTM. Here are my settings and I'll be happy if someone could give me a hint what I did wrong.

Here is the definition of the source server (my Diskstation):

Here are the QoS settings:

The external interface:

I also put the setting to the internal interface ... just in case:

As mentioned above ... it's doesn't work. [:'(]My Diskstation still uses more bandwidth than it should.
So, what am I doing wrong?

Hi Matthias,

Create two traffic selectors:

1. ANY >ANY >Diskstation; append it on the bandwidth pool for the external interface.

2. Diskstation >ANY >ANY; append it on the bandwidth pool for the internal interface.

Any luck?

Hi schin, can you please elaborate on the thinking involved in your suggestion because I have never been able to throttle incoming traffic on external interface and vice versa by using bandwidth pools.

The trick is that you have to assign the Down/Up speeds of the External interface to the Up/Down (opposite) speeds of the Internal interface.

But you're right, Bill, if someone's downloading from a connection that can fill your pipe, it's sometimes not possible to get that limited upstream from you.
