QoS not working properly...

Hi,

my setup:

- 6-8 People working on a remote connection to an offsite server
- Connection is a 2mbit sync line (2mbit for up/down combined!)
- remotedesktop reacts very slowly when a lot of traffic is on the line (of course)

set up QoS:
traffice selector:
      - Type: Selector
      - Source: Any
      - Service: RDP (3389)
      - destination: (remote server ip)
      - TOS/DSCP: off

bandwidth pool:
      - position: 1
      - bandwidth: 1000kbit/sec
      - specify upper bandwidth limit: unchecked
      - traffic selector: selected the one from above

status (of outgoing interface):
      - Downlink kbit/sec:  2000
      - Uplink kbit/sec: 2000
      - Limit uplink: checked

Now it is still jamming up the remote desktop when other stuff uses up the connection and the users are complaining about their slow remot desktop.
What's the deal?!

no. all my rules are set to the external interface. rules on the internal interface still don't make any sense to me.
i have 2 traffic selectors:
any --> src port: any --> dest. port: 3389 --> remote server ip
remote server ip --> src port: 3389 --> dst port: any --> any

both traffic selectors are activated on one single bandwidth pool on my external interface granting them 200kbit/sec guaranteed bandwidth.

but this doesn't seem to affect download traffic at all.

for testing purposes I tried a http selector:
any --> src port: 80 --> dst port: any --> any

but that didn't have any effect on my downloading speed.

I believe QOS only comes into play when there are multiple competing sources of traffic.
e.g. if you're testing it with only 1 set of traffic, you wouldn't notice a difference.

I just added a new thread that I think could help:
