fireqos.conf(5) FireQOS configuration file

DESCRIPTION

This file defines the traffic shaping that will be applied by fireqos(1).

The default configuration file is /etc/fireqos/fireqos.conf. It can be overridden from the command line.

A configuration consists of a number of input and output interface definitions (see fireqos-interface(5)). Each interface can define any number of (optionally nested) classes (see fireqos-class(5)) which shape the traffic which they match (see fireqos-match(5)).

SPEED UNITS

In FireQOS, speeds can be expressed in the following units:

#bps
# bytes per second
#kbps; #Kbps
# kilobytes per second
#mbps; #Mbps
# megabytes per second
#gbps; #Gbps
# gigabytes per second
#bit
# bits per second
#kbit; #Kbit; #
# kilobits per second (default)
#mbit; #Mbit
# megabits per second
#gbit; #Gbit
# gigabits per second
#%
In a class, uses this percentage of the enclosing rate.

Note

The default, kbit is different to tc(8) which assumes bytes per second when no unit is specified.

EXAMPLE

This example uses match statements.

   class torrents max 90%
     match port 51414 # my torrent client

This example uses server/client statements in a bidirectional interface. Of course match statements can also be specified. FireQOS will create 2 interfaces out of this: world-in and world-out.
