QOS in v5

Can you not prioritize individual protocols anymore? I may have it wrong...the manual does not talk much about QOS. I want all my workstations to have the same priority..however i want http as the top priority..with ftp and smtp at the bottom. Can that be specified in the packet filter in v5?

Yes, if you are running a web server just boost the QoS for HTTP definition for the web servers traffic in the packet filter.

no i do not have a web server...

my QOS rules i had in 4.021 were:
Internal Network-http-any-high
Internal Network-https-any-high
Internal Network-ftp-any-low
Internal Network-ftp_control-any-low
INternal Network-smtp-any-low
INternal Network-DNS-any-high

etc etc etc
I had ftp, http, https, dns, ping, ftp_control, smtp, pop3 among others all setup in priorities i wanted. Can i do that in asl5? Not prioritize individual machines but the individual protocols..

Yes, but there is no point. QoS works on OUTBOUND traffic only. You cannot control the rate data is sent to you.

i know and understand that..for my application here it was and still is very useful(since i have 128k upload if i was uploading a file to my website totalling several megs..while i was doing that nobody else would be able to surf..by prioritizing ftp and ftp_control as low they would get reduced when http, https, dns..etc etc would get initiated) so it makes prefect since....so does v5 support prioritizing of protocols or not?..[:)]

I jsut tried it..and it had no effect whatsoever. I started an ftp upload....then i tried to surf..which of course was painfully slow due to the ftp hogging all my upload. I have my upload speed set to 120 kilobits instead of 128(helped v4 lots) also tried it at 128. no effects..under v4 i could start an ftp upload then when any other traffic was initiated i could watchmy ftp program go from transferring 128 kilobits a sec to 5kilobits and all other traffic went as normal. IN v5 it is not working..i am wondering if i have something set wrong.
