</blockquote></div><div><br> Unfortunately this only helps with outgoing traffic. Marking on inbound
traffic is at the mercy of the torrent peer and your ISP (in my case, my
ISP seems to overwrite the TOS/DS field indiscriminately, not that you
would want to trust the marking for inbound traffic anyway), and
matching by port is also not feasible as outgoing connections involve a
random port on my side, and an arbitrary port on the peer's side.</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br>It is very evident that incoming traffic needs to be re-marked at the gateway, as a huge percentage of traffic I see at one of my sites is marked background that shouldn't be. (or there's a bug in my script) <br>
<br>Inappropriately marking traffic as background has side effects on stuff inside the gateway, particularly on wifi, as it gets tossed into the hw background queue, which has different scheduling characteristics than best effort.<br>
<br>As for dealing with incoming vs outgoing traffic, it might be possible to use connection tracking to successfully re-mark traffic on incoming to match the outgoing. <br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
