QoS

Quality of Service (QoS) ensures better service to high- priority service. The QoS tab allows you to configure the Router’s QoS settings.

QoS > Application-Based QoS

Application-based QoS involves Internet traffic, which may involve demanding, real-time applications, such as videoconferencing. To enable Application-based QoS, you can select either Priority Queue or Bandwidth Allocation. The remaining fields in the screen depend on the selection.

Priority Queue

QoS > Application Based QoS - Priority Queue

Application-based QoS manages information as it is transmitted from LAN to WAN. Depending on the settings of the Priority Queue, this feature will assign information a high or low priority for the five preset applications and up to thirteen additional applications that you specify.

High Priority and Low Priority  For each application, select High Priority or Low Priority. The packets will be

put into High or Low Priority Queue for the egress port of WAN according to your settings.

Specific Port #  You can add up to thirteen additional applications by entering their respective application port numbers in the Specific Port # field.

Bandwidth Allocation

QoS > Application Based QoS - Bandwidth Allocation

For each of the three Application Level Gateways (ALGs), you can choose a Bandwidth Allocation Policy from Guaranteed and Spare with a specified percentage value to control the bandwidth utilization from LAN to WAN. It depends on the specified policy to let the bandwidth be reserved or shared with the applications. Guaranteed will reserve specific bandwidth for the applications and Spare will use the remaining bandwidth for other applications.

User Define Button  You can define the policies regarding source or destination IP, protocol and port number. You also can mark the DSCP field with specific value to egress packets. The bandwidth utilization could be controlled from LAN to WAN.

When you have finished making changes to the screen, click Save Settings to save the changes, or click Cancel Changes to undo your changes. For help information, click More.

QoS > Port-Based QoS

Port-based QoS ensures better service to a specific LAN port.
