Limiting Youtube

Post by matt49383 »

We have 6 users in the household, 4 of which are gamers sharing a 17mb connection.

I've got gargoyle running default QoS but the moment someone loads a youtube video all hell breaks loose and I see them using 96% etc of the connection whilst game pings go well over a second (from 40ms before).

I've looked through the QoS settings and see that I can define a class for streaming media for example, and say that it cant use over say 25%, but I can't work out how I would identify youtube with the filters?

The http video / http audio filters don't seem to pick it up and google doesn't offer much advice. Any help please?

Thanks

Update: enabled "Minimize Round Trip Times (RTT)" on the fast class (I assume gaming is going in there somehow). 2x youtube hd streaming and 2x World of Warcraft with 40ms pings.. So that may be what I wanted.

I'll update after further testing :)
