Link: Differentiated Services

When you click the Differentiated Services link, the Differentiated Services configura- tion screen appears.

Netopia Firmware Version 7.6 offers Differentiated Services (Diffserv) enhancements. These enhancements allow your Gateway to make Quality of Service (QoS) decisions about what path Internet traffic, such as Voice over IP (VoIP), should travel across your network. For example, you may want streaming video conferencing to use high quality, but more restrictive, connections, or, you might want e-mail to use less restrictive, but less reliable, connections.

•To enable Differentiated Services, check the Enable checkbox.

•Enter a value from 60 to 100 (percent) in the Low-High Priority Ratio field. The default is 92.

Differentiated Services uses the low-to-high priority queue ratio to regulate traffic flow. For example, to provide the least possible latency and highest possible throughput for high priority traffic, you could set the ratio to 100(%). This would cause the gateway to forward low priority data only after the high priority queue is completely empty. In prac- tice, you should set it to something less than 100%, since the low priority traffic might have to wait too long to be passed, and consequently be subject to time-outs.
