 To begin with, Bandwidth Limiter **is not** QoS. Bandwidth Limiter limits the bandwidth used by one or more client devices on the network. Bandwidth Limiter does not prioritize one //type //of traffic over another type. It prioritizes one //client device// or //group of client devices// over others.
-By contrast, QoS analyzes all traffic and follows rules for prioritizing one //type //of traffic over another, based on all clients on the network. In a sense, Bandwidth Limiter is a more crude tool, whereas QoS might be considered a little more refined. Confusingly, Bandwidth Limiter shares a few settings with QoS. When Bandwidth Limiter is enabled, QoS should be disabled, and vice versa. If both are enabled, they will conflict with each other and neither will work.

 The Bandwidth Limiter menu is divided into sections. These sections typically include:

-An easy way to learn which clients are "guilty" when it comes to using bandwidth is to check the IP Traffic/View Graphs menu. There, a pie chart clearly indicates the bandwidth used by each address. If you're not sure whether the guilty client is active now, check the history using the Last 24 Hours, Weekly or Monthly menus.

 **Download rate:** This is the minimum download speed the router will try to allocate to the client while when other clients on the list are also downloading. The total of this column for all clients on the list should not exceed the total “Download Bandwidth.” If the amount exceeds “Download Bandwidth”, the entered data will serve no purpose when all network clients are downloading data.
-**Download ceil:** Download Ceiling is the maximum download speed FreshTomato will allocate to the client when more bandwidth is available. Such conditions include when other network clients are off, or using less bandwidth than normal. The less bandwidth they use, the more becomes available to allocate to the specified clients. This is especially true for those clients categorized with higher priority settings.\\   \\ {{:bandwidth_limiter-default_class-for-unlisted-mac-ip_s-in-lan_br0_-2022.6.jpg?777}}
