This is the qos script for gargoyle. Search the page for sfq and you'll see that it uses sfq for download and upload.

A side not: Why is gargoyle still using tc filters intead of -j CLASSIFY? It's been long supported to set POSTROUTING and FORWARD targets...

Interesting script mindwolf

Is AF41 better than EF in its configuration?

I put the dscp lines inside the script qos gargoyle, this prevents the rules from being duplicated after the reboot.

to edit: vi /etc/init.d/qos_gargoyle


Download:

# squash ingress
iptables -t mangle -A fwmark -j DSCP --set-dscp 0

#Go back and touch up the root qdisc to have the proper default class
tc qdisc change dev imq0 $overhead root handle 1:0 hfsc default $def_download_idx

# Create ingress chain
iptables -t mangle -N qos_ingress

# Mark ingress in FORWARD and INPUT chains to make sure any DNAT (virt. server) is taken into account
iptables -t mangle -A FORWARD -i $qos_interface -j qos_ingress
iptables -t mangle -A INPUT -i $qos_interface -j qos_ingress

# icmp ingress
iptables -t mangle -A qos_ingress -p icmp -j DSCP --set-dscp-class CS6

# tcp flags ingress
iptables -t mangle -A qos_ingress -p tcp -m length --length :64 -j DSCP --set-dscp-class CS6

# ps4 ingress
iptables -t mangle -A qos_ingress -d 192.168.1.142 -p udp -j DSCP --set-dscp-class CS6

#Now the rest of the user entered rules.



Upload:

#Go back and touch up the root qdisc to have the proper default class
tc qdisc change dev $qos_interface $overhead root handle 1:0 hfsc default $def_upload_idx

# Set up egress chain
iptables -t mangle -N qos_egress
iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -o $qos_interface -j qos_egress

# icmp egress
iptables -t mangle -A qos_egress -p icmp -j DSCP --set-dscp-class EF

# tcp flags egress
iptables -t mangle -A qos_egress -p tcp -m length --length :64 -j DSCP --set-dscp-class EF

# ps4 egress
iptables -t mangle -A qos_egress -s 192.168.1.142 -p udp -j DSCP --set-dscp-class CS4

#Next the user entered rules.



QoS in gui, download:

Destination: 192.168.1.142, Transport Protocol: UDP/ Ps4
Maximum Packet Length: 64 bytes, Transport Protocol: TCP /Fast
Transport Protocol: ICMP /Fast

Normal 40% zero nolimit
Fast 10% zero nolimit
Ps4 50% zero nolimit minrtt



gui, upload:

Source: 192.168.1.142, Transport Protocol: UDP /Ps4
Maximum Packet Length: 64 bytes, Transport Protocol: TCP /Fast
Transport Protocol: ICMP /Fast

Normal 10% zero nolimit
Fast 40% zero nolimit
Ps4 50% zero nolimit


Best setup for me so far, playing Ps4 over wifi.

VanCleef's last post has moved the rules into the Gargoyle firewall default settings to avoid duplicates with I'm assuming is the intention of offering it to the Gargoyle Devs as a future tweak.

You're basically doing a Search and Replace of the original content so It's important to verify you have the right section you're tweaking. Test the DSCP Ruleset by using the command: service firewall restart (Or: /etc/init.d/firewall restart).

If you don't want to replace the Defaults then you can add it to /etc/firewall.user instead and it should be fine with overriding the default Gargoyle Rules anyway.

Keep in mind this is experimental and not supported by the Gargoyle Dev Team at this stage but I can vouch that the improvement is significant.

Post on the OpenWRT Facebook Group with Gargoyle DSCP and UDP Settings.

PS4 UDP in its own Class (50% Alloc)
UDP and ICMP into another dedicated QoS Class (40% Allow)
Default/Normal (10% Alloc)
