QoSmate: (Yet Another) Quality of Service Tool for OpenWrt

Community Builds, Projects & Packages
1

I'm excited to announce the release of QoSmate, a new QoS solution for OpenWrt. QoSmate aims to simplify the process of setting up QoS on your router while offering customization options for those who need them.

Key features:

  • Support for both HFSC and CAKE queueing disciplines
  • Easy-to-use LuCI interface (luci-app-qosmate)
  • Flexible traffic classification with nftables
  • Automatic package installation and setup
  • ingress shaping via ifb + ctinfo

QoSmate builds upon the excellent work of @dlakelan and his SimpleHFSCgamerscript. It extends the original concept with additional features and a user-friendly interface.

You can find QoSmate on GitHub:

Installation:
QoSmate is not yet an official OpenWrt package, but it's designed for easy installation. You can set it up with just two commands. Detailed installation instructions are available in the README file on the GitHub repository.

Please note that the README is still a work in progress. I am continuously updating it to provide helpful information. If you encounter any unclear instructions or have suggestions for improvement, please let me know.

While QoSmate isn't currently in the official OpenWrt package repository, if there's sufficient interest and demand from the community, I'll consider submitting a request for its inclusion in future OpenWrt releases.

Getting Started:

  1. Follow the installation instructions in the GitHub README
  2. Access QoSmate through the LuCI web interface under Network > QoSmate
  3. Configure your WAN interface and speeds in the Settings tab (or use the Auto Setup function)
  4. Choose between HFSC and CAKE in the Advanced tab
  5. Set up custom rules in the Rules tab if needed
  6. Apply the changes

Special thanks to @choppyc for extensive testing and invaluable feedback throughout the development process.

I welcome any feedback, suggestions, or contributions from the community.

To give you a better idea of what QoSmate looks like in action, I've included some screenshots below:

Interesting contribution Hudra. This weekend I'm going to try it, see how it works for me. Thank you! :sunglasses:

Will this work if my wan is wifi (wwan)

My only choice for internet is using wifi.

Not sure if it matters but my router is a TP-Link TL-WDR4300 running 23.05.3

Currently, QoSmate is primarily designed for wired WAN connections with relatively stable bandwidth. Using it with a WWAN connection might not be optimal due to the potentially variable nature of wifi connections.

However, if your wifi connection provides relatively stable and consistent bandwidth, you could give it a try. The key is to set the shaper rate to a bandwidth value that you will have available at all times. This ensures that the QoS rules remain effective even during periods of lower bandwidth.

I was considering the implementation of CAKE w/ Adaptive Bandwidth in some way. This could potentially make QoSmate more effective for variable bandwidth connections like WiFi or mobile internet.

I share my internet with other users and just use QoS to divide the total bandwidth by 3 and I have not noticed my connection going slower than that

6

I’m not sure if I understood you correctly. You want to divide your total bandwidth equally at a fixed rate among 3 users? So for example if you have 300 mbit everybody only gets 100 mbit? If this is the case QoSmate might not be the ideal solution for you. QoSmate is designed to manage overall bandwidth and prioritize different types of traffic, rather than allocating fixed bandwidth to different users or networks.

If your primary goal is to evenly divide bandwidth among multiple users or networks, a solution like luci-app-nft-qos might be more suitable, as it's designed for that specific purpose.

However, you can still use QoSmate to manage the overall WWAN uplink.

7

Note, this is a really inefficient method. Suppose you're the only one home, you're getting 1/3 the speed for no one to benefit.

Instead, QoSmate will allow you to share the full bandwidth equally among those who demand it at any given time.

No I use openwrt to be the client on the houses wifi, I have the client set up as wwan and thus it is natted from the rest I just want to make mine 1/3rd.

There has been more than once I got blamed from hogging all the traffic and the way it is setup now I was using sqm app in openwrt and that way it has stopped that conversation in it's tracks because I just say FU I have mine set to 1/3.

I actually like yours it uses about half of the CPU compaired to openwrt package luci-sqm

I use cake's dual-dsthost: Flows are defined by the 5-tuple, and fairness is applied first over destination addresses, then over individual flows. Good for use on ingress traffic to a LAN from the internet, where it'll prevent any one LAN host from monopolising the downlink, regardless of the number of flows they use.

There's no artificial upper-limit on each host. Bandwidth is shared equally, allowing single hosts to use 100% of bandwidth.

Thank you for your contribution! However, It doesn't seem to shape my download rate but upload rate works.

My max download bandwidth is 300000 Kbps but even setting it to 170000Kbps for testing, the speed was still 300Mbps on speedtest and fast. Im connected to the router via ETH cable btw. Hardware and software accelerations are disabled. My router device is MT6000.

Note: I said 170000 earlier because I want to test if it really shapes the download since my custom value that I want (270000) might be inside the margin of error on speedtest. Still, it maxes out my download bandwidth.

Please post the whole output.

As @dlakelan pointed out, limiting your bandwidth to just one-third is an inefficient approach. Instead, it would be more practical to utilize all available bandwidth when, for example, no one else is using the network at home.

To achieve this, you'd need to apply shaping on your upstream device. As @Nullity said you can switch to cake and use use Host Isolation which in QoSmate is the option for dual-srchost/dual-dsthost. This setting ensures that bandwidth is fairly distributed among different hosts on your network. The key advantage of using dual-srchost/dual-dsthost over simply prioritizing individual flows is that it prevents a single host with many active flows—such as when downloading torrents—from monopolizing the bandwidth. Instead, cake ensures that the bandwidth is allocated fairly to the host as a whole, rather than distributing it across each individual flow.

However, keep in mind that while cake provides features like host isolation, it generally requires more resources compared to hfsc. Hfsc also incorporates fair bandwidth distribution (at least to an extent).

A few steps to consider:

  1. Please switch back to fq_codel as Non-Game Queue Discipline and then try again.
  2. What is the output of:
ifstatus wan | grep -e '"device"' | cut -d'"' -f4
ifstatus wan | grep -e '"l3_device"'

tc class show dev eth1
tc class show dev ifb-eth1
  1. Did you ensure that:
  • Any existing QoS services or scripts (e.g., SQM, Qosify, DSCPCLASSIFY, SimpleHFSCgamerscript...) are disabled and stopped to avoid conflicts.
  • Your router is rebooted to clear out old settings for a clean start.

Thats not a good idea if the internet goes down for whatever reason it will be my fault.

These guy's are not technical at all and I really don't feel like dealing with them.

Just to give you an idea of how non tec they are, lets say that if the power went down again on most of the north American continent they would still blame me for no internet

Beautiful! Pending in test it, but at the moment is the best solution for people who has poor connections, easy peasy setup, visual support. Awesome work from everyone involved on this @Hudra

  1. Switched back to fq_codel and rebooted still maxing out the download bandwidth.

  1. No other scripts running. Packet steering is also disabled. Did few reboots with the same result.

By the way, I also tried to hard reset and start fresh with still no avail.

Hello everyone,
What an incredible job Hudra, I can't wait to test QOSmate, you've made the perfect combination, Smq, Qos, priorities...etc.
Big hug from Brazil.

This is really really strange.

What is the output of:

ubus call system board;

Do you get any errors when you manually restart the script:

service qosmate restart

.. please show me the whole outuput when you manually restart the script.
