Bandwidth Management

Overview

This appendix explains how to ensure Quality of Service (QoS) on Vonage Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone service. This example uses Vonage; however, similar instructions will apply to other VoIP services.

Creation of New Services

Create two new services, Vonage VoIP and Vonage 2.

1.Visit Vonage’s website at http://www.vonage.com. Find out the ports used for Vonage VoIP service.

2.Access the Router’s web-based utility. (Refer to “Chapter 4: Advanced Configuration” for details.)

3.Click the QoS tab.

4.On the Bandwidth Management screen, click Service Management.

QoS > Bandwidth Management

5.On the Service Management screen, enter a name, such as Vonage VoIP, in the Service Name field.

6.From the Protocol drop-down menu, select the protocol the VoIP service uses. For example, some VoIP devices use UDP.

7.Enter its SIP port range in the Port Range fields. For example, you can set the Port Range to 5060 to 5070 to make sure that all active ports are covered.

8.Click Add to List.

9.Add a second service. Enter a name, such as Vonage 2, in the Service Name field.

10.From the Protocol drop-down menu, select UDP.

11.Enter the RTP port range in the Port Range fields. These are required for both incoming and outgoing traffic. For example, you can set the Port Range to 10000 to 25000 to make sure that all active ports are covered.

12.Click Add to List.

13.Click Apply to save your changes.
