Billion Electric Company 30 user manual DSCP Matching, Outbound Traffic, Outbound Fail Over

DiffServ (a.k.a. DSCP Marking) allows you to classify traffic based on IP DSCP values. Other interfaces can match traffic based on the DSCP markings. DSCP markings are used to decide how packets should be treated, and is a useful tool to give precedence to varying types of data.

2.2.8 DSCP (Matching)

Just like the DSCP Marking, DSCP is used on traffics (Both inbound rules and outbound rules have DSCP matching). DSCP matching is used to identify traffic for the rule. (It is just like what source IP and destination IP do). When this option of the QoS rule is selected, the QoS rule will only be applied to the packets whose DSCP field’s IP header matches the criteria selected. These markings can be used to identify traffic within the network.

2.3Outbound Traffic

This section outlines some of the ways you can use BiGuard 30 to manage outbound traffic.

2.3.1Outbound Fail Over

Configuring BiGuard 30 for Outbound Fail Over allows you to ensure that outgoing traffic is uninterrupted by having BiGuard 30 default to WAN2 should WAN1 fail.
