Interface views
Interface
The interface tab lets you select interfaces and configure Quality of Service profiles for them.
Classification Group
The Classification Group tab lets you manage groupings of QoS classes.
classgroup blocks are used to define different class groupings. This is only really useful if you wish to have multiple interfaces with different class considerations, for example, you might want eth1 to have an ultrapriority class or something.
This is useful when you have multiple interfaces and want to manage classes differently for them.
Classify
Reclassify
The Reclassify tab lets you configure filtering parameters in order to redefine types of traffic to include in which Class.
Reclassification can override the class on a per packet basis without altering the defined classification .
Workflow
Workflow
In order to use Quality of Service on the traffic for your device, you need to perform a number of configurations.
1: Class
The classes define how network traffic is to be prioritized and allocated.
There are a number of predefined classes, but you can add your own.
2: Classify/Reclassify
In order to direct traffic to the correct classes, you need to define classificaton rules in the Classify tab.
Since the classification only affects connections that haven't already been classified you may also need to apply filters in the Reclassify tab.
3: Class Group
With the classes defined, you can add and order them in a class group in the Class Group tab.
If you have multiple interfaces, and want different QoS settings for them, you can create multiple class groups.
Workflow
In order to use Quality of Service on the traffic for your device, you need to perform a number of configurations.

With the classes defined, you can add and order them in a class group in the Class Group tab.
If you have multiple interfaces, and want different QoS settings for them, you can create multiple class groups.
1: Class
The classes define how network traffic is to be prioritized and allocated.
There are a number of predefined classes, but you can add your own.
Predefined Classes
Class
There are a number of predefined classes QoS classes. Each class is a set of definitions for a token bucket.
Default Settings
The predefined classes can be edited and all values changed, but they have default settings that should be suitable in normal cases.
Priority
The priority class is an upstream class for high priority traffic such as handshaking and ICMP packets.
Priority_down
The Priority_down class is an downstream class for high priority traffic.
Express
The Express class is for interactive applications that require bandwidth above standard services so that interactive apps run smoothly.
Normal
The Normal Class is the standard upstream class for all services.
This class will apply to all services not otherwise defined.
Normal_down
The Normal_down class is the standard downstream class for all services.
This class will apply to all services not otherwise defined.
Bulk
The bulk class is suitable for very low priority traffic. It will be allocated available bandwidth if other classes are idle. When other classes are active, it will be allocated bandwidth according to the priority setting.
It is suitable for transfer services such as (P2P and FTP).
Tab
Class
The class tab lets you manage QoS classes.
Overview
At the top of the page is a list of selectable classes.
When a particular class is selected, details about it is shown in the configuration section.
| Item | Description | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Priority | Bandwidth allocation limit (%). | |
| Average Rate | Average target rate (%). | |
| Limit Rate | Maximum allowed bandwidth (%). | |
| Packet Size | Size of packets (bytes). | See note. |
| Packet Delay | Target delay for packets (ms). | See note. |
| Max Size | Maximum size of packets (bytes). |
Note: Packet Size and Packet Delay rely on the Average Rate setting. The average rate is impacted by the maximum packet delay and the transfer time for the packet size. Generally the delay is lower for smaller packet sizes.
Configuration Values
Priority
The Priority indicates the bandwidth allocation limit as a percentage of total available bandwidth.
ls m2 = priority / sum (priority) * max_bandwidth
Limit Rate
The Limit Rate provides a maximum allowed bandwidth, expressed as a percentage of the total available bandwidth.
ul rate = limitrate * max_bandwidth / 100
Average Rate
The Average target rate is a percentage of the total available bandwidth.
Average rate for this class, value in % of bandwidth (this value uses for calculate vaues
'Nx' of 'tc … hfsc rt m1 N1 d N2 m2 N3'
Note: Packet Size and Packet Delay rely on the Average Rate setting. The average rate is impacted by the maximum packet delay and the transfer time for the packet size. Generally the delay is lower for smaller packet sizes.
Packet Size
Size of packets (bytes).
packetsize & packetdelay: (only works if avgrate is present)
rt d = max( packetdelay, 'time required for packetsize to transfer') ls d = rt d
Packet Delay
Target delay for packets (ms).
Max Size
The maximum size of packets indicates the maximum packet size in iptables.
2: Classify/Reclassify
In order to direct traffic to the correct classes, you need to define classificaton rules in the Classify tab.
Since the classification only affects connections that haven't already been classified you may also need to apply filters in the Reclassify tab.
Tabs
Classify
The classify tab lets you configure filtering parameters in order to define types of traffic to include in which Class.
Classification assigns a class to traffic in a connection, but only affect connections which have not been assigned a traffic class already.
Overview
At the top of the page is a list of selectable classification groups.
When a particular group is selected, details about it is shown in the configuration section.
Adding a parameter will filter out traffic according to the parameters and assign it to the group.

Add WAN
MultiWAN
The MultiWAN view allows you to create and configure WAN traffic divisions for load balancing and failover and applying traffic rules.
Introduction
Using the MultiWAN feature, you can enable up to 250 WAN interfaces to:
- Provide load balancing over multiple WAN interfaces based on a numeric weight assignment.
- Monitor connections using repeated ping tests and can automatically route outbound traffic to another WAN interface if the first WAN interface loses connectivity.
- Set rules to customize which outbound connections should use which WAN interface
- Customize rules based on various parameters such as IP:s, port(s) and protocol.
Why should I use mwan3?
If you have multiple internet connections, you want to control which traffic goes through which WANs
Mwan3 can handle multiple levels of primary and backup interfaces, load-balanced or not. Different sources can have different primary or backup WANs.
Mwan3 uses netfilter mark mask to be compatible with other packages (such as OpenVPN, PPTP VPN, QoS-script, Tunnels, etc) as you can configure traffic to use the default routing table.
Mwan3 can also load-balance traffic originating from the router itself
Tabs
The MultiWAN settings are divided into tabs.
Settings
The MultiWAN Settings tab allows you to add or edit multiple WAN connections and turn them on or off. You can also configure thresholds for WAN up/down detection and reliability monitoring.
Members
The Members tab allows you to create member groups for interfaces, to use with policies for traffic management. The metric and weight settings are used to manage traffic in the member groups.
Policies
The Policies tab allows you to group members into policy sets for use with the traffic rules.
Rules
The Rules tab allows you to define how LAN traffic should be filtered and distributed over the available WANs.
Rules are the way the Policies are applied to the traffic. Each Rule targets packets with some kind of filter.
The Rules are applied in order from top to bottom. Multiple rules that can use the same policy but target different traffic.
Workflow
1: WAN Interfaces
As a first step, you need to add all network interfaces that should be part of the MultiWAN.
2: Members
Next, each interface must have at least one member, with per interface giving it appropriate Metric and Weight.
3: Policies
With the members set up, you must create at least one policy containing at least two members.
Workflow
In order to use the multiwan feature, you need to do a number of configurations.
