QoS Set Policy

Advanced > QoS > Set Policy

Setting the QoS policy can assign received packets a higher/lower priority (based on your configuration) to pass through this device. You can define some policies which classify received packets based on local/remote IP addresses, ports and protocol type. This feature is useful when the WAN link is very busy or congested or when using special applications that need real time services such as Internet phone, video conference...etc.

QoS Policy

Policy Name:

Local/Remote

Address:

Protocol Type:

Source/ Destination Port:

Priority Queue:

The friendly name of a policy which is used to classify the received packets based on the following rules.

Specify a packet based on local/remote IP address. By default, the address is 0.0.0.0 which represents all IP Addresses. Port and Protocol Type define all packets for special applications.

This field is defined for which type of packet. It has some values such as IP, TCP and UDP.

Specify the port number ranges if TCP or UDP protocol is selected.

This device supports four queues. When a packet meets a policy rule requirement, it will be put into the responding queue. Otherwise it is assigned the lowest priority to pass through.
