Hmm, no example for firewall marking? :-(

So these QoS settings gave me an excellent example to copy and make sense of for my VyOS box (the config translates over 1-to-1; copy and paste). Suddenly QoS makes sense. Thank you.

The lower the priority number, the higher the priority. The default priority value is 0, the highest priority

(command line of edgeos 3.0.1 says the same)

Looks like the docs were wrong when I set this up: https://forum.vyos.io/t/error-in-vyos-qos-documentation-incl-the-old-vyatta-6-x-docs/5257

Seemed to work for me, but maybe it was just the bandwidth restrictions that helped. Yikes!
