Hi. I have a 4 ISP connection at home with neighbors connecting to it. I already put all-p2p and layer7 torrent markings but still the torrent keeps eating all my 4 ISP to its maximum bandwidth limits. It’s just going everywhere in the no-mark connections. Is there any way I can do to stop this? I don’t want to block it. I just want to slow it down.
I think this just shows how efficient torrent encryption is. IMHO there is no way to distinguish between encrypted torrents and other encrypted traffic, and that’s exactly its intended purpose.
You cannot block it completely but you can limit available bandwidth for “big” connections.
i dont think “big connections” are applied to encrypted torrents at 443 port because torrent connections are small and many.
you can use queues pcq-upload-default/pcq-download-default to equal split bandwidth to users.
or you can put limits to pcq (rate) so each user does not take all the available bandwidth.
totally agree classifying all other important traffic leaves torrent traffic with the lower priority
dont block torrent, just throttle it
