Question

Ok, I am trying to tweak my router to give priority to some traffic. My classifications seem to cover just about everything but I still see ~60 to ~80% of the traffic as unclassified:

TCP 192.168.1.100 64137 192.168.1.1 80 Unclassified
TCP 192.168.1.100 64175 192.168.1.1 80 Unclassified
TCP 192.168.1.100 64144 192.168.1.1 443 Unclassified

I assume that the 64### ports are just what my WAP uses to send packets inside my home network. But my classifications seems to cover any traffic for destination ports 80 and 443: (partial list)

TCP      Dst Port: 80,443     High   WWW
TCP/UDP  Dst Port: 1024-65535 Lowest Bulk Traffic

Why do I have so much unclassified traffic if I have a classification that should cover it?

Answer 1

I've found the answer on the tomato FAQ, even though I don't really understand it: http://www.polarcloud.com/tomatofaq#why_are_there_unclassified_con

Why does it say that "Connections that travel from the Internet to your computer or router" are unclassified. What is the difference between that and normal inbound traffic that I can classify?

Answer 2

Wish i had an anwser - even the most detailed guides on setting up QOS on Tomato seem to skip over this issue. I found the explanation you cited and it makes absolutely no sense to me. In addition, I have traffic that is going the other diretion that is also unclassified and should be caught by one of my classifications. Baffling...and frustrating.
