When you are setting a QoS with TC with a shellscript, the syntax is not easy to read. This tool tries to give a better way to interact with TC.

• python 2.7 or 3.4 (it certainly works with prior versions, just not tested)

Copy the default configuration file config.py.default as config.py. Please do not modify or remove config.py.default if you cloned this repository. Always do your modifications in config.py. Then modify config.py for your setup (documentation is inside).

QoS rules are is the rules folder. It doesn't exist from scratch, but you can copy the rules.example as rules, where there are some examples corresponding to my actual setup.

The source file tools.py contains all the useful functions for rules, which are documented with docstrings. built_in_classes contains different classes you can inherit. Take a look to the examples to see how it works.

A function apply_rules() has been created in rules.example/__init__.py to apply all the rules once.

When your rules are created, just run qos.py :

python3 qos.py [-h] [-d] {start,stop,show} ...
