Quality of service

Quality of Service (QoS) allows individual members to set different guaranteed and maximum speed and helps to ensure quality of service (eg VoIP). For each member a maximum guaranteed rate can be explicitly set and define priority list of IP addresses for dedicated service.

This behaviour is created by using daemon that periodically retrieves data (definition of their behaviour) from FreenetiIS, and according to these data establishes tools iptables and ipset rules that guarantee a defined behaviour.

Installing from source

This installation procedure is there for development purposes. Users should install the package by using frenetis-qos.

Dependencies

apt-get install wget ipset iptables

Installation

Scripts and configuration file can be found in the folder /application/vendors/qos in the FreenetIS files source. Installation procedure:

1)Copy files

sudo mkdir /etc/freenetis
cd ./application/vendors/qos
sudo cp ./freenetis-qos.init.sh /etc/init.d/freenetis-qos
sudo cp ./freenetis-qos-sync.sh /usr/sbin/freenetis-qos-sync
sudo cp ./freenetis-qos.conf /etc/freenetis

2)Set RunPermissions

sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/freenetis-qos
sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/freenetis-qos-sync

3)Starts automatically after boot

sudo update-rc.d freenetis-qos defaults

Configuration

In the configuration file (/etc/freenetis/freenetis-qos.conf) You must set the path to FreenetIS (variable PATH_FN).

Furthermore, after the input and output interface (variable INPUT_INTERFACE, OUTPUT_INTERFACE).

Input interface means an interface to which the rules apply for download and upload output rules.

Starting and Managing

The script is run automatically when the system boots.

Manual start:

sudo /etc/init.d/freenetis-qos start

Manual stop:

sudo /etc/init.d/freenetis-qos stop

Current status of monitoring:

sudo /etc/init.d/freenetis-qos status
