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.

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.

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.

Tab

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.

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.

Item Description Comment
Default Class Class to use as fallback if packets don't match any other class.
Classes Classes to include in the group. Note: You need to create a class for it to be available in the list.

The Default Classgroup contains these standard classes: - Priority - Express - Normal - Bulk

4: Enable

As a final step, you enable QoS for the desired interface in the Interface tab.

Tab

Interface

The interface tab lets you select interfaces and configure Quality of Service profiles for them.

Overview

At the top of the page is a list of selectable interfaces.

Class

The class tab lets you manage QoS classes.

Overview

At the top of the page is a list of selectable classes.

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.

Important

The following prerequisites apply:

  • The interface must be enabled and working.
  • All addresses defined in the Host(s) to ping settings are reachable from the interface.
  • The Create Default Route must be enabled for the interface.
  • The Gateway Metric must be unique for the interface.

Naming The Members

A good way to keep track of the members and make them easier to find when applying policies, is to use a regular naming scheme.

The following scheme will provide a good structure:

<interface>_m<metric>_w<weight>

and allow you to know the setup from the name alone.
