QOS for Youtube

Post by msb1 »

Hi,

I'm trying to limit Bandwidth for Youtube specifically. I setup an L7 Protocol for Youtube and added the QOS rules but it doesn't work.
It appears that this is due to Youtube using https instead of http.
Is there a workaround to this?

Qos youtube's ip range. Layer 7 is nearly dead due to encryption becoming more popular every day. Wouldnt it be nice if internet protocols included an application identifier outside of an encrypted packet :)

Thanks. That's a lot of IP's
Is there an easy way of entering all of them to setup a qos rule?

Nope.
It would be quicker to match by connection bytes exceeding a certain value.
That would affect downloads as well though.
