INSTALL

   1 Prometheus QoS installation - canonical
   2
   3 1. run "./check-kernel-qos" script to check kernel modules HTB and SFQ (optional)
   4 2. as a root, run "make install" (you shouldn't get errors, just some warnings)
   5 3. edit /etc/prometheus/prometheus.conf (conf/prometheus.conf or examples/...)
   6 4. edit /etc/prometheus/hosts (conf/prometheus.hosts or examples/...)
   7 5. edit /etc/cron.d/prometheus to update preview, shutdown and reload times
   8 6. run "/etc/init.d/prometheus start" to activate QoS
   9 7. run "/etc/init.d/prometheus stop" to shutdown QoS and generate stats
  10 8. run "/etc/init.d/prometheus kill" to force immediate flush of QoS rules
  11 9. setup /etc/init.d/prometheus to your system init (distribution dependent)
  12
  13 Prometheus QoS installation - alternative, old way
  14
  15 1. if can read read this, you have already unpacked the .tar.gz archive
  16 2. run "make prometheus" (you shouldn't get errors, just some warnings)
  17 3. create /etc/prometheus/prometheus.conf (conf/prometheus.conf or examples/...)
  18 4. create /etc/prometheus/hosts (conf/prometheus.hosts or examples/...)
  19 5. to activate QoS manualy from command line, just run "./prometheus"
  20 6. to softly shutdown QoS (and generate stats), run "./prometheus -f" ("flush")
  21 7. to force immediate flush of QoS rules, run "./prometheus -9" ("kill")

  23 Promethetus QoS advanced tips:
  24
  25 1. use -p command line switch to generate instant and safe Hall of fame preview
  26 2. use qos-free-delay option for pause after flushing old rules, before loading new
  27 3. take some time to understand files examples/prometheus.conf and examples/hosts
  28 4. note: qos-proxy-enable and qos-free-zone won't work together
  29 5. warning: doing SNAT and QoS on the same router may cause performance problems

  33 echo -n 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
  34 echo -n 64000 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max
  35 echo -n 86400 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_tcp_timeout_established
