Help with QOS settings

kamikazi

Can anyone help me with this. This is how I set it up that made sense to me. But when I am playing games I am still getting high download speeds from things that I thought I set a limit too. These are me settings. Thank you

What are you downloading from? I think that there's probably an issue with your match rule which is why your QoS policy isn't being applied.

I'm downloading from things like battle.net client, steam, torrents. I just wanted to make it so when if someone is playing a game and someone else starts a download the person playing the game doesnt suffer. That is the whole purpose of QOS right?

Some of your ports seem worng.

Plus you dont have rule for torrent traffic, which usually is the highest bandwidth user.

What is your bandwidth ?

On what device are you configuring this qos ?

QoS is poorly understood by many. It doesn't necessarily work how you think it does, and it's easy to get it wrong. In general, (for uploads) high & low matters more than the percents that you assign. It's designed to let the various classes borrow from each other and then "push low traffic out of the way" when neccesary, so you might not see the results you expect. To make matters more confusing, the "download" QoS is just a hard limit in many cases and behaves differently...

 

How fast is your internet connection (WIRED speed test when QoS is turned off)?

 

I can help you setup the "perfect" QoS if you want - it requires switching to Tomato Shibby firmware - which is optimal if you have a good router and you internet connection is less than ~60mbps

Yea I have been doing some research on it now for about two weeks and still dont really understand. I understand that "I think" that the higher priority upload sets the lower priority download speeds. I have 300mps so I am a little high for tomato then... My high internet connection is the reason I want to use QoS. I dont want just one program when running to suck up all the bandwidth. So QoS doesn't work in the sense that I can just set limits for certin ports? I just need a general idea of a set up and I think I can get it from there. I am not trying to set a specific machine up for it since I have multiple computers on the same network running mostly the same games and programs.
