Qos: difference from streaming and download

Post by atomico »

Hello, i am trying to configurate qos to assigne two classes for streaming and download on port 443.

I am noticing that both using port 443 so i can't using port. Is there something to use for this?

IP address?
You can't use connection size because streaming IS downloading.

Please be respectful when posting. I do this in my free time on a volunteer basis.

As you've noticed, due to the popularity of https/encryption it's really hard to distinguish between downloading/streaming unless you know the IP addresses of those servers. This is why I treat all traffic in a neutral way and just focus on letting Gargoyle's per IP bandwidth sharing equally split what's available between devices.
QoS Tip: Don't complicate your QoS settings. Gargoyle evenly splits available bandwidth between active devices as needed. Just delete all your classification rules and leave only one normal service class and you're done. No more arguing over bandwidth.
