+## 📊 QoS System
+
+The Rust daemon includes a full QoS stack that operates on decrypted IP packets:
+
+### Adaptive Keepalive
+
+The keepalive system automatically adjusts its interval based on connection quality:
+
+| Link Health | Keepalive Interval | Triggered When |
+|-------------|-------------------|----------------|
+| 🟢 Healthy | 60s | Jitter < 30ms, loss < 2%, no timeouts |
+| 🟡 Degraded | 30s | Jitter > 50ms, loss > 5%, or 1+ timeout |
+| 🔴 Critical | 10s | Loss > 20% or 2+ consecutive timeouts |
+
+State transitions include hysteresis (3 consecutive good checks to upgrade, 2 to recover) to prevent flapping. Dead peer detection fires after 3 consecutive timeouts in Critical state.
+
+### Packet Classification
+
+IP packets are classified into three priority levels by inspecting headers (no deep packet inspection):
+
+| Priority | Traffic |
+|----------|---------|
+| **High** | ICMP, DNS (port 53), SSH (port 22), small packets (< 128 bytes) |
+| **Normal** | Everything else |
+| **Low** | Bulk flows exceeding 1 MB within a 60s window |
+
+Priority channels drain with biased `tokio::select!` — high-priority packets always go first.
+
+### Smart Packet Dropping
+
+Under backpressure, packets are dropped intelligently:
+
+1. **Low** queue full → drop silently
+2. **Normal** queue full → drop
+3. **High** queue full → wait 5ms, then drop as last resort
+
+Drop statistics are tracked per priority level and exposed via telemetry.
+
+### Per-Client Rate Limiting
+
+Token bucket algorithm with byte granularity:
+
+```typescript
+// Set: 10 MB/s sustained, 20 MB burst
+await server.setClientRateLimit('client-id', 10_000_000, 20_000_000);
+
+// Check drops via telemetry
+const t = await server.getClientTelemetry('client-id');
+console.log(`Dropped: ${t.packetsDropped} packets, ${t.bytesDropped} bytes`);
+
+// Remove limit
+await server.removeClientRateLimit('client-id');
+```
+
+Rate limits can be changed live without disconnecting the client.
+
+### Path MTU
+
+Tunnel overhead is calculated precisely:
+
+| Layer | Bytes |
+|-------|-------|
+| IP header | 20 |
+| TCP header (with timestamps) | 32 |
+| WebSocket framing | 6 |
+| VPN frame header | 5 |
+| Noise AEAD tag | 16 |
+| **Total overhead** | **79** |
+
+For a standard 1500-byte Ethernet link, effective TUN MTU = **1421 bytes**. The default TUN MTU of 1420 is conservative and correct. Oversized packets get an ICMP "Fragmentation Needed" (Type 3, Code 4) written back into the TUN, so the source TCP adjusts its MSS automatically.
+
 ## 🔐 Security Model
 
 The VPN uses a **Noise NK** handshake pattern:
 
 1. **NK** = client does **N**ot authenticate, but **K**nows the server's static public key
-2. The client generates an ephemeral keypair, performs `e, es` (Diffie-Hellman with server's static key)
+2. The client generates an ephemeral keypair, performs `e, es` (DH with server's static key)
-3. Server responds with `e, ee` (Diffie-Hellman with both ephemeral keys)
+3. Server responds with `e, ee` (DH with both ephemeral keys)
 4. Result: forward-secret transport keys derived from both DH operations
 
 Post-handshake, all IP packets are encrypted with **XChaCha20-Poly1305**:
