Policy Configuration Setting the QoS policy can allocate Inbound/Outbound bandwidth (based on your configuration) to
pass through this device. You can define some policies which classify received packets based on
Local/Remote IP, MAC, port and protocol type. This feature is useful when the WAN link is very busy
or congested or when using special applications that need real time services such as Internet phone,
video conference...etc.
.

Policy
• Policy Name –The name of a policy which is used to classify the received
packets based on the following types for your memory
• Local / Remote Address, Port –Specify a packet based on Local/Remote
address or port. Address has two types: IP address and MAC address. By
default, the IP address is 0.0.0.0 for all IP Addresses but the MAC address is
00-00-00-00-00-00 which cannot be used to classify.
Port and Protocol Type define all packets for special applications
• Protocol Type – The field defines traffic packet type, i.e. IP, TCP and UDP.
• Maximum Guaranteed Bandwidth –This device supports Bandwidth
queues. When a packet meets a policy rule requirement, it will be put into the
responding queue. The queue will send them use the guaranteed bandwidth.
If the rest bandwidth is enough it will try to arrive the maximum bandwidth.
