On my previous article I talked about how I’ve upgraded from DD-WRT to Tomato and how much of an improvement it was over DD-WRT. While I’m still tweaking my setup I thought I’d provide a quick tutorial on how to setup QoS in Tomato.
For those of though who don’t know, QoS (Quality of Service) provides different priorities to different users or data flows, or it can guarantee a certain level of performance to a data flow in accordance with requests from the application program or the internet service provider policy. In Tomato’s case we are going to set it up to give priority to data flows. In a nutshell QoS tries to guarantee that important network protocols are given priority over non-important protocols. For example, http has priority over BitTorrent.
I’d like to start off my mentioning that there isn’t just one correct way to setup QoS. This guide is only intended to give you a basic idea on how to setup your own.
