For me, most Youtube streaming is coming from 50.0.2.204-206.
Is it possible to classify this in one rule?
Is it possible to classify the entire network 50.0.2.0
Thanks.

Yes and yes. Please read the QoS configuration guide on this site.

Yes I did read the article in the Wiki. But I don't understand how using CIDR is going to specify 3 specific addresses.In my second question I suppose I could use 50.0.2.0/24 for the entire network(1-254). Is this correct?
And is this (50.0.2.204/30) the equivalent of tagging 50.0.2.204 and 50.0.2.205?
thanks again.

204/30 gets 204-207 I think so you cannot do the exact range without multiple rules

I finally got around to trying this.
As a follow up
50.0.2.204/30 is the same as not using CIDR
50.0.2.204/29 includes 5 IPs (204-208)
There's also a Youtube-2012 L7 protocol filter I found on another forum that works well
Credit goes to "Porter" for making the filter
To make the filter create a new text document and paste the following contents
youtube-2012
GET (\/videoplayback\?|\/crossdomain\.xml)
save it as youtube-2012.pat
I used WinSCP to
copy it to etc/L7-protocols folder, then
modify the l7index file located in the same folder and add a line for the new filter
youtube-2012 Youtube-2012
save your changes and reboot the router. You should now have the new filter in the drop down list for L7 protocols.
Cheers
