Refer to www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Quality_of_Service It would appear
as
if some users are doing big downloads and setting the priority to BULK may
let them use bandwidth remaining from other "normal" users. Quite a bit of
tuning is available in the QoS section of DD-WRT. You may also wish to
upgrade to RC6 or 7 also.

I have been working with these settings in r23 and r24 RC5, and hopefully
they are more accurate in RC6 or 7. The bandwidth settings are not very
useful, as they don't seem to produce anything specific, but the categories
(bulk, premium, etc) seem to prioritize pretty well.


It may be necessary to impose some user restrictions to basic browsing and
emails and no bittorrent or streaming videos etc. In a shared public
arena,
this is not unreasonable.

I completely agree. That's what I was getting at in another post when I
mentioned "whitelisting" the ports/services. My main concern is related to
the handful of serious business people who come through. These people tend
to be reasonable, relatively computer savvy professionals who expect
unfettered access to the internet. I have never researched the range of
ports they would need to have open to avoid frustration and complaints.

Thank you,

JM
