Help on QoS configuration

[der_Kief]

Hi @ All,

i'm new to Gargoyle and trying to setup QoS for my needs. The last few months i used Tomato on my WRT54GL. According to this guide i put a 90-95 % of the maximal bandwidth to the total (upload) bandwidth field. Should i do the same on Gargoyle ? And which total (download) bandwidth should i use (full or 90-95% of full dl-bandwidth) ?
I used to configure my QoS only by IP's (match criteria) and on upload QoS i used the source IP (=internal IP) as match cirteria, is that right for Gargoyle ? And what to use for download QoS ? Destination or source IP for my internal IP's ?

Max Upload should be just under your available upload connection speed -- 95% is probably about right. Same for Max Download (95% of available download). You can probably go even a little bit higher, say 98-99%. The idea is that you want the limit on the router to be as large as it can be, and still be smaller than any other limit on the connection.

For upload QoS source IP will be internal. For download QoS sourceIP will be external and destination will be internal. I've been meaning to update this for a while and have "remote IP" and "local IP" instead of the more confusing source/destination which changes depending on upload/download section, but I haven't gotten around to it.

Hi,

thanks for clarification.

My approach would be to use 75% of your upload/download speeds. Then test and increase until you don't get the performance you need. Going much over 90% is going to be problematic.
