fireqos.conf

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

The default configuration file is /etc/fireqos/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)).

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.
