LibreQoS is a python application that allows you to apply fq_codel traffic shaping to hundreds of customers. <a href="https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/codel/wiki/">Fq_codel</a> is a Free and Open Source Active Queue Management algorithm that reduces bufferbloat, and can improve the quality of customer connections significantly. LibreQoS features the ability to import devices from LibreNMS and UNMS at runtime using API calls. It then apples hundreds of filter rules to direct customer traffic through individual fq_codel instances within an <a href="https://linux.die.net/man/8/tc-htb">HTB</a> (HTB+fq_codel). By utilizing <a href="https://tldp.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO/lartc.adv-filter.hashing.html">hashing filters</a>, thousands of rules can be applied with minimal impact on traffic throughput or CPU use. This is alpha software, please do not deploy in production without thorough testing.

## How does fq_codel work? ## How does fq_codel work?
fq-codel distinguishes interactive flows of traffic (web browsing, audio streaming, VoIP, gaming) from bulk traffic (streaming video services, software updates). Interactive flows are prioritized to optimize their performance, while bulk traffic gets steady throughput and variable latency. The general impact on latency of a user's connection is very beneficial to daily use. fq-codel distinguishes interactive flows of traffic (web browsing, audio streaming, VoIP, gaming) from bulk traffic (streaming video services, software updates). Interactive flows are prioritized to optimize their performance, while bulk traffic gets steady throughput and variable latency. The general reduction of connection latency offered by fq_codel is highly beneficial to end-users.
