  11 Promethetus QoS Advanced tips:
  12
  13 1. I prefere to launch prometheus using "screen" utitlity (not tested without it)
  14 2. use -p command line switch to generate instant and safe Hall of fame preview
  15 3. use qos-free-delay option for pause after flushing old rules/before loading new
  16 4. use magic-relative-limit option to fine tune your Fair Use Policy (daily quotas)
  17 5. note: qos-proxy-enable and qos-free-zone won't work together
  18 6. you can setup /etc/crontab using /sample-configuration/crontab.SAMPLE
  19 7. warning: doing SNAT and QoS on the same router may cause performance problems
