QoS over Nftables (Quality of Service)
This menu controls QoS at the packet level. It lets the user set Upload and Download Rate Limits
to prioritize network traffic for each system interface. Rate Limits can be created to match traffic
based on source IP address. Existing classification rules can be edited or deleted.
NFT-QoS Settings > Limit Rate contains settings for Download and Upload rate limits. Select the
Limit Enable checkbox. By selecting Limit Type: Static, the user can set default DL/UL limit rates in
bytes/s, Kbytes/s, or Mbytes/s. By selecting Limit Type: Dynamic, the user can set default DL/UL
bandwidth limits in Mbps across a specified target Network using IPv4 or IPv6 addresses in CIDR
notation. Individual IP address(es) can be added to a whitelist to bypass default limit rates when
using either Limit Type by entering a whitelisted address and clicking the ‘+’ button.
