Specifying Quality of Service (QoS) Priorities

The Quality of Service (QoS) Priorities setting determines the priority of a service, which in turn, determines the quality of that service for the traffic passing through the firewall. The user can change this priority

•On the Services screen in the Custom Services Table for customized services (see Figure 4-16).

•On the Add LAN WAN Outbound Services screen (see Figure 4-2 on page 4-10).

•On the Add DMZ WAN Outbound Services screen (see Figure 4-5 on page 4-13).

The QoS priority definition for a service determines the queue that is used for the traffic passing through the VPN firewall. A priority is assigned to IP packets using this service. Priorities are defined by the “Type of Service (ToS) in the Internet Protocol Suite” standards, RFC 1349.
