I tried but couldn't get it to work properly - I don't know why, simple things work, but it's hard to tell without counters what's going on when it doesn't work. It also looks like deleting qdiscs doesn't always clean up the filters properly.

A very good guide indeed! Unfortunately it doesn't tell how to do what I hope to do: is there a way to make some kind of rule which give priority to an IP address instead of a port?

e.g. I want all traffic on IP 192.168.1.99 to have high priority, is this possible?

Dunno. What I know can be done is to throttle the bandwidth by IP address (with rshaper or netshaper) - by definition, any IP address that is not so throttled will have a fuller bandwidth .

Isn't rshaper on the last routertech firmware? perhaps I'll give it a try.

I'd like to ask a clarification: in the "IP QoS" settings, is "Source port" the port I'm connecting to, or the port to which che connection arrives?

Best explanations for using the QoS stuff in routertech can be found in the following PDF:
http://www.ixbt.com/comm/adsl/acorp-lan ... webcfg.pdf

Particularly, QoS section on page 132. :)

I read manual in first post and pdf, try different configuration but nothing work :curse:

I would only set low priority for all internet comunication (all port & protocol) to and from (up & down), only for one pc in my lan.

I can do this?! Ip qos on routertech work?!

I have understand that for upstream comunication i'd select my WAN in "Choose a connection".

"Source ip": ip of my lan pc to limit
"Source Netmask:" i try 255.255.255.0 and 255.255.255.255
"Protocol": any

...and for downstream i'd select my Lan group.

the same as above but set "Destination IP" and "Destination Netmask".

I also try to invert, but nothing...where i wrong?!

thanks in advantage...and sorry for my bad english :mrgreen:

p.s. i know there are rshaperctl and netshaper, but this tool limit always bandwith for selected ip...

You have right: I use RouterTech_3.6.0D_20090922_2.91.1 on dlink g604t

This is my digniostic.sh report (http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=39ZkEbSh). ...with qos disabled!


thanks for time and help!!

The firmware has Qos support, so I don't know what you're talking about.

ok, but for me don't work...is this correct configuration for set low priority for an ip on lan on any protocol???:

Code: Select all

I have understand that for upstream comunication i'd select my WAN in "Choose a connection".

"Source ip": ip of my lan pc to limit
"Source Netmask:" i try 255.255.255.0 and 255.255.255.255
"Protocol": any

...and for downstream i'd select my Lan group.

Nice guide. Thanks to OP. But RT firmware does not like so many entries. I have added all high priority settings in first page, a game and 2 other programs. Now I can't add more because routers IP qos page stops responding and deletes all qos settings before I have added. perhaps a memory issue? I don't know.

With RT 2.96 1350A firmware , the 'IP-QOS' page is only avalible via the traffic light links on the right of 'Lan Group Configuration' page but various older documentation refers to the 'IP-QOS' page being a dedicated page under 'Advanced'

Is this changed behaviour or is it a bug

Thanks

A number of things in the 1350A firmware are different from the "standard" firmwares.

Concerning the given example it doesn't seem to me that adding the same rule a second time under a different name will accomplish anything additional. Selectable physical interfaces are LAN 1-4 and WLAN, so this qos appears to be for outbound prioritization only (which is the most important, LAN being faster than WAN).
