Queue Configuration

The Gateway’s WAN interface can now be configured for:

strict priority queuing (as currently)

weighted fair queuing

rate-limiting funnel

Note:

The configuration mechanism is designed to be flexible enough to accommodate complex queuing requirements. Configurations not supported by the Gateway will be flagged during configuration verification.

You configure the WAN outbound queue as follows:

create and configure one or more queues, which can be a basic queue or a priority queue comprising a group of basic queues, a weighted fair queue comprising a group of basic queues, or a funnel com- prising a group of basic queues;

assign a queue instance to the Ethernet WAN interface;

map packet attributes to a queue.

The same queue name can be assigned to multiple interfaces which require identical queue configura- tion, however currently the only interface available for queueing configuration is ethernet 1.

To help you configure queues, and to maintain compatibility with previous firmware releases, several queues are set up automatically on upgrade to Version 7.7, or upon a factory reset.
