NAME

       fireqos.conf - FireQOS configuration file

DESCRIPTION

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

       The  default  configuration  file is /etc/firehol/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.

               # incoming traffic from my ADSL router
               interface eth2 adsl-in input rate 10500kbit adsl remote pppoe-llc

                   match proto GRE

               # I define torrents beneath the default class, so they slow
               # down when the default class is willing to get bandwidth
                 class torrents max 90%
                   match port 51414 # my torrent client

               # outgoing traffic to my ADSL router

                   match icmp
                   match tcp syn
                   match tcp ack

                 class clients commit 10%
                   match tcp port 20,21,25,80,143,443,465,873,993 # mail, web, ftp, etc

               # unmatched traffic goes here ('default' is a special name)
                 class default max 90%

               # I define torrents beneath the default class, so they slow
               # down when the default class is willing to get bandwidth
                 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.
