Dependency Map

QoS policies do not act alone. The value you choose for one policy can quietly change what another policy does, and that interaction is where many surprising QoS bugs come from. This map shows which policies pull on each other, so you can spot the risky pairs before you tune them.

How to use the map

• Each box is a QoS policy. Each arrow is a rule, a specific combination QoS Guard flags.
• Click an arrow to isolate that one rule. The map hides everything else and shows only the two policies involved, and a panel explains the rule and links to its page.
• Click a policy box to see just that policy's conflicts.
• Use Back to map (or click an empty area) to return to the full picture.

Arrow colour shows what the conflict does.
