Title: Traffic Shaping - High and Low Priority Queues
Post by: omegahelix on November 30, 2025, 10:43:19 PM
Hello. If I want to have one or two systems on my LAN have higher priority during times of congestion and I make a set of upload/download queues for "high priority" with let's say weight = 60 and a set for "low priority" with remaining weight of 40 would that mean that the clients in the high priority queue would get at least 60% of the bandwidth (shared fairly among them, I assume) and the clients in the low priority queue would get at least 40%? Would this be a good way to favor my work from home computer and VOIP device over my kids video streaming? Thanks!
