Prioritization Filters

Figure 144: Prioritization Filter Configuration

This menu allows you to edit and delete traffic filters.

The Source IP/Netmask and Dest IP/Netmask fields specify the IP addresses and masks used to match an outgoing packet. Use 0.0.0.0/0 to generate an “all packets” match.

The Source Port and Dest Port fields specify the port numbers used to match an outgoing packet. You may specify either a raw number or a mnemonic as specified in the /etc/services file. This setting matches both udp and tcp ports, unless the Protocol field specifies udp or tcp.

The Protocol field specifies a protocol to match against, currently either tcp, udp, icmp, ospf, vrrp or ipsec.

The Target Queue field selects one of the available priority queues.

Prioritization Transmit Queue Length

The WAN protocols supplied by the RuggedRouter rely upon transmit queues to ensure their efficiency. Even as a packet is starting to be transmitted, other packets can be lining up behind it. Normally there is only one queue, the transmit queue, and packets are transmitted from it in the order in which they arrived.

The transmit queue is a means of enhancing performance.

Prioritization favors some packets over others by transmitting them with preference.
