Hi,

Anyone have any advice on the best method of using either QoS or Bandwidth management to restrict streaming video from youtube? I don't want it blocked but I would like it so that other traffic gets the the full benefit of our humble 10mb leased line while restricting youtube videos to the bare minimum for low quality streams.

Primary router = Vigor 3300 and others are 2830n's

My initial thinking is to use a dig result and entire IP subnet for youtube.com and youtube.co.uk in some way but not entirely sure how to go about it on those routers.

My other thinking is to use the .flv extension as a trigger/class but not sure if that is possible with the given hardware

Any advice would be much appreciated

Now this was something I did about 5 years ago but back then if I remember correctly it was RTMP on TCP port 1935 back then. Guess the problem now is Youtube is not only Flash but HTML5, now that I have more bandwidth/download limits I no longer bother with any limiting/QoS so my info could be well out of date!

Possibly kick off a streaming session and capture it with Wireshark perhaps?
