ASUS RT-N56U QOS - Question

[Mat77]

On QOS I have 5 Lines "lowest Priority" to "highest Priority". If I change Bandwith for the highest Class to 20 % upload and 100 % in the "high" class. Does my high class always be in that calss or does it change to highest if nothing else is use the highest class?

Ok no one answered - maybe it´s not clear

I have 5 classes

1 highest
2 high
3 medium
4 low
5 lowest

For the classes I give different bandwith.

If I have something in the medium class - does it always be there? Or can it change automatically to a class above (not wanted).

And a second Question:

is it possible to see how much traffic I have in a class? So i can see how much traffic is "unclassiefied"?

I guess you're talking about the original firmware / web interface?

I don't think you can do that, but it's possible to do that over SSH (terminal).

I'm using custom firmware so my following answers are just educated guesses:
As soon as there's packets in a class they get sent, unless there are packets in a class with higher priority. Higher priority packets always come first.
The % you configure are guaranteed rates, so if class 1 is set to 20% it will always get at least 20% when needed, but may use up to 100% if other classes don't use it. The other way around: if hand class 1 doesn't use up any traffic other classes can use that free 20%.
