Anyway this can be implemented?

It'd prove extremely useful to gamers who are on a congested cable line like myself.

I currently have no plans to do any change to QoS or bandwidth control in general.

Do you know of any firmware that does indeed support it?

Is it even a possibility?

I noticed you said that you agree with Toastmans assessment of QoS.

I read his rundown here:
http://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?threads/qos-tutorial.68795/

Here he says you must limit your bandwidth to 85% of what your connection is capable of and must ensure that your inbound limit never maxes out.

I cannot currently due this on the stock Asus firmware, nor on your build.

This what the max DL/UL fields on the QoS page are for. That's what Toastman is referring to.

Do you mean inputting your correct information on the automatic page, and then selecting 85% max on the priorities/rule pages?

No. You'll want 85-90% on the first page, if you want to reproduce the configuration recommended by Toastman.

On the automatic page I do that, however when I test I consistently am still getting my full 100% download speed instead of the 85%

My upload seems to get capped, but my download always fully saturates.

Could it be because you don't have anything running with a higher priority? QoS will only kick in if there's traffic with a higher priority at the same time as traffic at a lower priority.

Anyway, this isn't really meant to be a bandwidth capper, it's just a setting meant to adjust the QoS behaviour. Bandwidth capping is something totally different - in fact it's something Toastman refuses to implement in his own build, while other variants of Tomato have it.

I never looked in details at how QoS worked because I don't fully understand how traffic classification works under Linux - that's why I don't want to mess with it, and risk breaking something.

I have my PS4 that's hardwired set as highest, and pretty just everything else low except for DNS etc.
