NETGEAR FVS124G manual Highest Default Lowest

Reference Manual for the ProSafe VPN Firewall 25 with 4 Gigabit LAN and Dual WAN Ports

The QoS priority definition for a service determines the queue that is used for its traffic passing through the FVS124G VPN Firewall as follows:

Table 6-2.		Traffic queue to be used for a service
					Netgear QoS Setting†
Native ToS Setting*			None	6	5	4	3	2
7	(highest)		7	6	5	4	3	2
6			6	6	5	4	3	2
5			5	6	5	4	3	2
4			4	6	5	4	3	2
3			3	6	5	4	3	2
2			2	6	5	4	3	2
1	(default)		1	6	5	4	3	2
0	(lowest)		0	6	5	4	3	2

*IEEE 802.1D-1998 (formerly 802.1p) standard.

†Specifies which output queue in the FVS124G to use for that service’s traffic. The three type-of-service bits in the traffic frame remain unchanged.

Example 1 (priority unchanged): If the native ToS setting for a service is 3 and the Netgear QoS setting for this service is None, then the traffic for this service is placed in the queue that handles priority 3 traffic. The priority of this service through the FVS124G VPN Firewall has not changed.

Example 2 (priority increased): If the native ToS setting for a service is 3 and the Netgear QoS setting for this service is 4, then the traffic for this service is placed in the queue that handles priority 4 traffic rather than the queue that handles priority 3 traffic. The priority of this service through the FVS124G VPN Firewall has been increased.

Example 3 (priority decreased): If the native ToS setting for a service is 3 and the Netgear QoS setting for this service is 2, then the traffic for this service is placed in the queue that handles priority 2 traffic rather than the queue that handles priority 3 traffic. The priority of this service through the FVS124G VPN Firewall has been decreased.
