QoS gaming for 2 people

Hi

I have read the QoS documentation and the gamers one, but they only explain making the rules for one person. If more than one person is playing online games on the same network and sometimes the same game how can i modify these rules to fit that specific scenario?

You can either:
- repeat the instructions for each individual
OR
- double the bandwidth for the class and make rules to send both players to the same class

What are the differences between doing those?

If you set everything up properly and only direct specific traffic to the classes, no difference.

If you did a combined limit, one user could saturate the class if it was not set high enough.

Could I please have an example of how you would make a rule? With the port of 7000-9000

Try following the examples which you have already read, have a go, and then report back with either your success, or further questions.

If you have further questions, post a picture of what settings you have created and an explanation behind them. :)
