2) streaming film on the web medium
3) youtube and web surfing high
4) games highest and ping

my actual configuration (don't like very much) is this:

first rule is for steam download (don't ask me why it go on port 80)
second is for youtube
3-4-5 was default but i think it is web surfing
6 is for skype (i'd like add teamspeak too )
7 is for games (maximus packet lenght is to exclude bittorrent that use udp too.

any idea?

1) You can identify some torrent traffic by using Bittorrent L7 filter, but most of it will get through. For this reason you should set default class to slow, which will put traffic that can't be identified (torrent and emule) to slow priority. I found out Steam download is using HTTP so It will get put into normal priority, but if you want you can solve this problem by tracking IPs Steam uses to download files and creating filter for them, which will give downloads slow priority.

2) To catch streaming films you can use HTTP Video and HTTP Audio L7 filter. You should also put up filter, which will watch traffic on port 80 and 443 and change It's priority after it exceeds 512 KBytes, with this you can catch videos and HTTP downloads, which weren't identified before. I can't help you with Netflix and similiar services, because I'm not from USA, so I don't know how they work.

3) You can identify Youtube traffic with youtube-2012 L7 filter, which is very good and assign it high priority. For web surfing create filter which will classify traffic on port 80 and 443 as high priority.

4) For games it depends which games are you playing. You can identify them by using ports or IP addresses. Some older games also have L7 filter, but I don't know how effective they are. You should create additional 2 classes besides standard classes you can find in Gargoyle and enable RTT on it, one for Skype and one for Games. After you can sucesfully identy game traffic you should take a look at how much bandwidth they use at maximum and put it into minimum bandwidth setting for each of classes.

You should always put L7 filter first, since if you create filter for port 80 first, which let's says it assigns high priority and then L7 filter for youtube, which assigns normal priority, youtube traffic will be identified by first filter and will get wrong priority.

It's also important that you enter correct information in maximum upload (put 95% of your upload speed) and download speed.

Don't forget to enable congestion control, else RTT won't work.

Take a look at my QOS settings. I think It's pretty identical to what you want. Filter on port 27005 is for Dota 2, but you have to find, which ports or IPs you games are using.

This is correct.
