Thanks petchi,
I am using simple queues by household (subnet) to manage traffic and this is working well overall. However, school at home needs more bandwidth at various times. And within a household I want the school work to get bandwidth independent of other traffic, even if total bandwidth for the household exceeds the standard level. .
My understanding is that simple queues take priority over queue trees, so to use queue trees would require converting all of the simple queues as well. Queue trees are more complex to set up and manage, so I’d prefer to use simple queues.
The simple queue for classroom video seems to be working ok. It is above the other queues, so it gets bandwidth in addition to the main household queue. If the network saturates, I can lower the household queue bandwidth during class times.
I am modeling this approach based on “how to set a simple queue based on dst. port?” Though in my case I want to provide additional bandwidth for classwork.

fewi’s response indicates that connection marks will handle bidirectional traffic. The queue is seeing traffic in both directions, but it is all showing up under the download side. Is something wrong in my rules or is there no way to shape and see the separated download and upload streams for this teleconf simple queue?
