I want to configure the ADSL router which connects 10+ machines to the internet. I want to give maximum priority to browsing (ports 80,443) and set low priority for bittorrent etc.(port 42180)
I have been experimenting with settings , but with no luck. There are three settings which confuse me, along with my understanding.
- 802.1 Priority - Related to LAN level, possible values 0-7 , higher numbers means higher priority.
- 'Mark traffic priority' - clueless about this.
- IPP/DS - IP Precedence - possible values 0-7 ; 6 & 7 are reserved, so set 5 for highest priority. Or when using DSCP - set 46 for highest priority.
Please help me in getting this done.

1Remember that you can only prioritise outgoing traffic. – paradroid – 2011-04-15T12:00:06.927
i also had the same question in mind.it had 'upstream traffic' in that config page. Atleast can we control traffic inside the subnet, ie prioritizing the packets to/from some specific port, so that it makes a diffference? – dbza – 2011-04-15T14:20:08.520
Will flashing the router with DD-WRT or tomato help to make the desired changes? – dbza – 2011-04-15T14:28:08.687
I have not used DD-WRT very much. I use Tomato, as it is said that the QoS is easier to set up and works better than it does on DD-WRT. – paradroid – 2011-04-15T14:30:20.583
