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?

    When you say bandwidth pools only affect traffic outbound from the interface, does that mean "upload" traffic out to the internet or can that also include "download" traffic coming in, depending on the interface?

    Let's say I wanted to ensure at least 2Mbps for Netflix streaming coming into my media center PC. How does a bandwidth pool affect that traffic if that traffic is inbound?

    If I also wanted to limit bittorrent traffic, I would use an application throttling rule bound to which interface?

    I'm sorry I'm being slow to grasp the concept. If I understand correctly, the rule of thumb is bandwidth pools should bind to Internal interface and throttling rules should bind to external?
