Hi Astaro users and professionals :-)
If you find errors in this written text please ignore ... I'm not a native speaker.
I seem to be unable to configure QoS in a way that limits outgoing Torrent traffic.
Here's the situation:
uTorrent, configured to use...
Port 16617:16880 (64 ports) for outgoing connections
Bandwith for outgoing connections set to 30 kB/s ~ 240 kBit/s
Astaro SG 7.2
Service Definition "Def_TorrentOUT" TCP/UDP 16617:16880 -> 1:65535
Network Definition "TorrentPC" as host with fixed IP on > interface
Packet Filter on Position 1 "Flt_TorrentOUT" with TorrentPC -> Def_TorrentOUT -> Any, Allow always
...Logging enabled so that I can actually see, that this filter is in use and working in the live log...
QoS
External (WAN) on status tab enabled with
"Total available downlink bandwidth: 8704 kbits/sec"
"Total available uplink bandwidth: 1024 kbits/sec"
Traffic Selector
Name: Sel_TorrentOUT
Source: TorrentPC
Service: Def_TorrentOUT
Destination: Any
TOS/DSCP: Off
Bandwith Pool on External (WAN)
Name: Pool_TorrentOUT
Position: 1
Bandwith (kbit/s): 1
Specify upper bandwith limit - Limit (kbit/s): 16 ... to put a really noticeable limit here :-)
Traffic Selector: Sel_TorrentOUT
So, in theory, I would expect that the upload from uTorrent would be about 2 kB/s (16/8) as specified via QoS ... but it isn't - it's running with the configured 30 kB/s and doesn't bother to slow down.
uTorrent is actually using ports 16617:16680 for outgoing connections - I've checked this with TCPView 2.53 from SysInternals.
In the Dashboard I can see that about 40 kB/s are being transferred to the Internet on the External (WAN) interface ... with nothing else running but uTorrent that would be an indication that QoS as configured doesn't work.
What am I missing here [:S]
Thanks in advance for your help !
Greetinx,
Udo
