FlexQoS FlexQoS 1.0 - Flexible QoS Enhancement Script for Adaptive QoS

[Jack Yaz]

I do wish that the forum had the ability to have a wiki post (like I’ve seen on forums.macrumors.com), because I’m not that interested in curating a list of user rules. That’s where all the gamers and others with the experience come in. I intend to provide the framework. What everyone does within that framework (beyond the defaults) is best to come from community collaboration, like it has been since FreshJR disappeared.

open up a wiki section on the github repo and link to that

 

[Jack Yaz]

It’s an interesting idea, which I’m imagining as a filter for the Tracked Connections table. Not 1.0 material since I have no idea how I would do it yet (I need @Jack Yaz to implement it in one of his scripts so I can plagiarize).

oh go on then, what lines/section of the script are responsible for the tracked connection table generation?

Sure, but it’s another hurdle for people to create a github account and contribute to the wiki there. It’s what I’ll end up doing since it’s available and centralized, but keeping it within the forums would be more accessible to everyone.

LOL, we don’t determine the QoS class/priority until after the raw list is filtered:

This is where the pie chart labels are drawn:

I hear you can work magic within 15 minutes. On your mark...get set...

It’s no fun untangling the webui code.

hm, could be simple enough. are we looking to filter by application, or the category (e.g. work from home)?

Now that I was forced to look at it, I think the extra filtering by category is doable. But how to implement the UI of clicking on the Category name is less clear since each category appears twice (Download and Upload). And whether to allow multiple category selections or just one.

Definitely post 1.0, but probably doable.

when generating the labels attach a click handler that passes the category id, something like

onClick="FilterTable(id);"

I don’t think it’s possible for “Web Surfing” to be a label in the connection list. The App classification is done by Asus/Trend Micro, but you can override the priority if you can uniquely identify the traffic by IP and/or port and/or Mark. But you have to do it on your own if you don’t want to provide the connection details for the rest of us to offer help.

Then I don't know where you are getting the connection list. I'm always happy to provide info. I need instructions how to get the list you want.

The fun with www.youtube.com is that they use a bunch of IPs rather than one pointing at a load balancer

It would be better if we could use a DNS name that's checked occasionally as the IPs can change. Using the first two octets is not valid as Google uses them for other things in there data center.

I suspect the streams are coming in on HTTPS so TCP/443 which is not unique...

I'll provide more when I get the instructions.

Thank you,

Morris

It would be on the FlexQoS tab. Or are you looking only on the Bandwidth Monitor tab?

Definitely not full. But the install messages suggest there was no space to write the files. Try again?

 

[JohnD5000]

Same result. Should I try uninstalling FlexQOS and reinstalling
