  11 .SH DESCRIPTION
  12 Prometheus QoS generates multiple nested HTB tc classes with various
  13 rate and ceil values, and implements optional daily traffic quotas and
  14 data transfer statistics (as HTML). It is compatible with NAT, both
  15 asymetrical and symetrical, yet still provides good two-way shaping
  16 and prioritizing, both upload and download.

  45 .SH KNOWN BUGS
  46 Prometheus is slow. This will be changed as soon as the new
  47 iptables-save/load mechanism makes it into stable release.
  48 Future implementation may call netfilter directly via libiptables.
