Topic: Traffic priority based on amount of data transferred  (Read 3682 times)

Is there any way to set the priority of a certain protocol automatically (say, http) once a certain amount of traffic has been transferred?

For example, the Tomato firmware for Linksys and Buffalo routers has this implemented in the QoS: http transfers are a High priority for burst downloads, but get switched to a lower priority after 512KB has been transferred. Useful for when someone wants to download large files over http without slowing down general web browsing for anyone else.

Is there any way to do this in monowall, or if not, are there any firewall distros where this is possible?

Hi, have you already investigated in the traffic shaper m0n0wall section ?

http or https://your.m0n0wall.address/firewall_shaper.php

There's no a second possibility to make a good first impression.

Yup, but there's nothing to suggest I can automatically change a protocol's QoS Priority based on the amount of traffic transferred. All I can do is set the static priority.

... static priority ...

Yes I believe it's only static, with many options, but static.
I have Vs. 1.32
