Note that the rules that you insert will correspond
to packet going out of the device on which you connect to with
BTC. No matter if the packets goes to your LAN or WAN.
As a generic note, most rate limiting features
don’t work on loop back, so don’t test them locally.

This will identify a range of addresses that needs to be rated
Identify the direction in which the packets are going.
To enable this option, 'Outgoing To' must hold 'Wan' or
'Lan'. In the event that this is the case, the 'Selection'
drop down box will then be available giving you four choices,
Destination, Source, Destination Port, Source Port.
Identifies the source / destination port that the packet came
from or goes to. Source / Destination is identified in the 'Selection'
drop down box.
The priority of this classifier. Lower numbers get tested
first.
Each list will be passed in the order the rules were added,
then list with lower priority (higher preference number)
will be processed.
By default, all filters reside in one big chain which is
matched in descending order of priority. If you have 1000
rules, 1000 checks may be needed to determine what to do with
a packet.
Matching would go much quicker if you would have 256 chains
with each four rules - if you could divide packets over those
256 chains, so that the right rule will be there.
The implementation consists of a buffer (bucket), constantly
filled by some virtual pieces of information called tokens,
at a specific rate (token rate). The most important parameter
of the bucket is its size, that is the number of tokens it
can store. Each arriving token collects one incoming data
packet from the data queue and is then deleted from the bucket.
Associating this algorithm with the two flows -- token and
data, gives us three possible scenarios:
The data
arrives in at a rate that’s equal to
the rate of incoming tokens. In this case each incoming packet
has its matching token and passes the queue without delay.
The
data arrives in at a rate that’s smaller
than the token rate. Only a part of the tokens are deleted
at output of each data packet that’s sent out the queue, so
the tokens accumulate, up to the bucket size. The unused tokens
can then be used to send data a speed that’s exceeding the
standard token rate, in case short data bursts occur.
The
data arrives in at a rate bigger than
the token rate. This means that the bucket will soon be devoid
of tokens, which causes the bucket to throttle itself for
a while. This is called an ’over limit situation’.
If packets keep coming in, packets will start to get dropped
The accumulation of tokens allows a short burst of over limit
data to be still passed without loss, but any lasting overload
will cause packets to be constantly delayed, and then dropped.
A class that is configured with ’isolated’ will
not lend out
bandwidth to sibling classes. Use this if you have competing
or mutually-unfriendly agencies on your link who do want to
give each other freebies. The control program also knows about
’sharing’, which is the reverse of ’isolated’.
A class can also be ’bounded’, which means that it
will not try to borrow bandwidth from sibling classes. The
program also knows about ’borrow’, which is the reverse of
’bounded’. A typical situation might be where you have two
agencies on your link which are both ’isolated’ and ’bounded’,
which means that they are really limited to their assigned
rate, and also won’t allow each other to borrow.
In the event that you assign a non routable IP address
to your host / group / subnet. Accessing the internet
is still possible.
Check this box and the device will forward your request
on your behalf.
