			QoS (Quality of Service) settings allow you to prioritize performance on four

			of the router’s ports. The Router’s other four ports are automatically assigned
			Low Priority. Port-Based QoS does not require support from your ISP as the
			ports prioritized are LAN ports going out to your network.

“Qos” is Quality of Service, based on the idea that transmission rates, error rates, and other characteristics can be measured and improved in advance. Qos is of particular concern for the continuous transmission of high-band- width video and multimedia information, which is less dependable under nor- mal, “best effort” protocols

To use QoS, select Enable. There are two types of Qos which can manage the quality of service: Application-based and Port-based.

Application-based QoS manages information as it is transmitted and received and assigns it a high or low priority based upon the selections made on the QoS screen. There are five preset applications which utilize Application- based QoS: FTP, HTTP, Telnet, SMTP, and POP3. You can choose three addi- tional applications by inputing that information in the empty boxes below.
