Manage Your Network Traffic Priority in OpenWrt With QoS

This document discusses how to manage network traffic priority in OpenWrt using Quality of Service (QoS). It describes installing and configuring QoS on OpenWrt to prioritize certain types of network traffic over others by addressing, ports, or services. The document provides steps for installing QoS packages, configuring classification rules to specify application priorities, and enabling QoS functionality.

Manage Your Network Traffic Priority in OpenWrt


with QoS
April 05, 2017

QoS or Quality of Service is equivalent to traffic shaping but with


packet prioritization, application classification and queuing at

congestion points

With QoS on OpenWrt you can prioritize network traffic selected by


the addresses, ports or services.

QoS advantages

Guarantees bandwidth for key applications and users.


Can put off the need for faster network infrastructure.

Can help in network planning by measuring and managing

traffic flow.

Installation And Configuration

Step 1. Install QoS Packages on OpenWRT from LuCI Interfaces

1. Select tabs System - Software


2. Click Update List

3. In Download and install packages type "luci-app-qos" then


click ok

Step 2. Configuration

1. Select tabs Network - QoS


2. Check Enable , Check Calculate Overhead (To reduce traffic

latency)
3. In Download speed and Upload speed column by Speedtest then
convert it to kbit/s (Calculation tools)

Step 3. Classification Rules

Classification Rules is the application or packet priority rules for


the network traffic
Enter the port and protocol of the application (e.g. SSH : 22 , DNS :

53 , Web Services : 80)


Then select protocol : (e.g. TCP , UDP , ICMP , or ALL)

The QoS Priority


Priority - boosts low-bandwidth small frames, such
as TCP-ACKs and DNS more than the Express
Express - is for

prioritizing bigger frames, which would include stuff like VoIP and
Gaming
Normal - all traffic that is not specifically classed will fall
under the normal class.

You not need to explicitly set anything to this class


Low - is only
allocated bandwidth when the remaining classes are idle. Use this

class for P2P services and downloading services like FTP

TechRapid - Technology

Step 4. Start and enable QoS

1. Select tabs System - Startup


2. Find in initscript - QoS
3. Click enabled and start

Setup the QoS can take a time because it's not simple like Wshaper,

Because QoS need additional configuration like classify your network


bottleneck and traffic to optimize the network efficiently

Notes

You can change some PC Priority Add Static IP (Network - DHCP


- Static Leases) then Source Host the PC IP , Destination Host all

You can search the application port from Google's search (e.g.


Steam required ports, Google Play store port number, PS4 port
numbers, and Netflix Port Number)
If you need some application or services run smoothly change
the port number of the application to Express or Priority

If QoS doesn't work try reducing Upload speed to 80% and


slightly reduce the Download Speed to calibrate the settings

To optimize your Internet Traffic don't use Qos with Wshaper


for optimal performance
