scheduled QOS/Bandwidth limits

[Tikker]

Long story short, ac66u, running merlin

I've got the kids in the house bandwidth limited per device, and this works great. the one thing I'd like to do, is schedule what the limit is

specifically, the xbox/playstations, so that they can have 5mbps during daylight hours, but 15-20mbps between 1 am and 7 am for game downloads/updates/etc

I'm not sure if this is possible, or if I'm just missing a simple step?

I don't think it possible without scripting. But what that would accomplish (I think) is the kids staying awake past one to play in the 'extreme' mode.

eh, that's not a concern really. other than downloading stuff, they've got way more than enough bandwidth for day to day things

Linux iptables is capable of schedules. Something like "iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m time --timestart 12:00 --timestop 23:59 -j ACCEPT" but I dunno how to tie that capability to a tc QoS filter/queue.

You'd need to run the commands at every boot via a script.

Surely it's possible, but not super simple.
