.SH DESCRIPTION
Prometheus QoS generates multiple nested HTB tc classes with various
rate and ceil values, and implements optional daily traffic quotas and
data transfer statistics (as HTML). It is compatible with NAT, both
asymetrical and symetrical, yet still provides good two-way shaping
and prioritizing, both upload and download.
