Questions About QoS

tscott_16
I need a little clarification on how to properly configure QoS.
I have two interfaces, Internal (eth0) and External (eth1).

What difference does it make which interface a bandwidth pool or throttling rule is bound to?

It seems that you could achieve throttling by setting an upper bandwidth limit in bandwidth pools. What's the difference?

    Bandwidth pools affect only traffic outbound from the interface; Download Throttling only affects traffic arriving at an interface.

    But, you're right in that the "old" way to create a Download Throttling rule on the External interface was to create a Bandwidth Pool on the Internal interface and set an upper limit to traffic coming from "Internet."  The "Download Throttling" concept is just easier to explain and makes WebAdmin more self-documenting.
