Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports

The Applications & Gaming Tab - QoS

Quality of Service (QoS) ensures better service to high-priority types of network traffic, which may involve demanding, real-time applications, such as Internet phone calls or videoconferencing.

Use this screen to configure IP QoS for connections, view the rules you have set up, and manage your rules.

IP QoS

Choose a connection. Choose the appropriate connection from the drop-down menu.

Low priority weight. Select the weight of the low priority queue, which is available in increments of 10%. The sum of the low and medium priority weights should equal 100%.

Medium priority weight. Select the weight of the medium priority queue, which is available in increments of 10%. The sum of the low and medium priority weights should equal 100%.

Enable IP QoS. Click this checkbox to enable IP QoS for the selected connection.

Trusted Mode. The Router has two modes for management of queue traffic. Click the Trusted Mode checkbox if you want the Router to apply all of the IP QoS rules first, regardless of the TOS bit settings. After the rules have been applied, then the TOS bit settings will be applied. If Trusted Mode is not used, then the Router will use the un-trusted mode. The default rule will be applied if the there is no match between the un-trusted mode and the rules of the Trusted Mode. (The default rule will assign a low queuing priority.)

The following table will list the rules you have configured. You can also add new rules and delete existing rules. Each rule uses the criteria you specified to identify specific types of application traffic, which should be assigned to one of the Router’s three priority queues: High, Medium, or Low.

QoS

NOTE: If IP QoS is enabled and you have no defined rules, then a default rule will be implemented. All traffic will be transmitted in the Low priority queue.
