Layer7 Tab in pfSense Shaper
Development is advancing. We are still having some problems with the protocol definition but we hope to sort them out soon.
This is just a place to create what we call layer7 containers. Each container can have multiple protocols with diferent definitions. After you create a container you will be able to assign it to a firewall rule! At least this is the idea. More to come soon

If you add recursion checking, the containers can be nested inside each other to form a hierarchical structure. That would help in modeling complex protocols (SIP?).

I’m very interested in the progress of this project. I’m looking for a way to keep bandwidth usage sane for a University dormitory. This looks promising!
