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

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
