114CHAPTER 5: CONFIGURING THE ROUTER

QoS Settings The QoS (Quality of Service) function allows you to differentiate your network traffic and provide it with high-priority forwarding service.

The bandwidth gap between LAN and WAN may significantly degrade the performance of critical network applications, such as VoIP, gaming, and VPN. This QoS function allows you to classify traffic of applications and provides them with differentiated services (Diffserv).
