DD-WRT or Tomada anyone?

Anyone here experienced with DD-WRT or Tomada and know if they support packet prioritizing? I'm aware of bandwidth throttling/limiting but what I want is packet prioritizing.

Yea, but I wasn't sure if it actually was prioritizing, and so instead I assumed maybe it was throttling. I didn't find any mention of packet prioritizing in there at all, but found quite a lot on throttling or giving a certain game/ip/program more bandwidth while taking away from lower priorities. I forgot to mention that I'm a gamer so just limiting bandwidth won't be as efficient for me as prioritizing packets. Let me try to explain, and correct me if I'm wrong. What I want is for my game packets to go out uninterrupted and not for it to just have more bandwidth. Prioritizing bandwidth would just result in less upload for a node but its packets are still going out unregulated and conflicting with my game packets, thus the lag. Now if there was packet prioritizing, if my game sends out a packet, all other packets that are going out at the same time are halted, so my games will always be lag free ^_^

lol, you're dreamin! You're neglecting to include the effects of every router you hit, the game servers ISP, and the game server itself that you're connected to. I'm probably even forgetting some!

The way I understand QoS is: admin specified packets have priority on the network..

Well, I usually lag due to my brothers downloading or watching youtube and not from routing. Rarely if ever have I experienced routing issues with my game and doubt I will in the future.

Alright, that fine. Thanks for your input. Anyone else out there =(
