ICMP, TCP, UDP, and SCTP) to filter the packets of those protocols as the packets pass through a
SmartNode. SmartWare tests packets against the conditions in an access list one by one. The first
match determines whether SmartWare accepts or rejects the packet. Because SmartWare stops testing
conditions after the first match, the order of the conditions is critical. If no conditions match, the
software rejects the address.

11.10 Configuring Quality of Service
In SmartWare the link scheduler allows the definition of quality of service (QoS) profiles for network
traffic on a certain interface, as shown Figure
page S refers to the ability of a network
to provide improved service to selected network traffic over various underlying technologies
including Frame Relay, Ethernet and 802.x type networks, and IP-routed networks. In particular,
QoS features provide improved and more predictable network service by providing the following
services:
• Supporting dedicated bandwidth
• Improving loss characteristics
• Avoiding and managing network congestion
•
Shaping network traffic
•
Setting traffic priorities across the network
The SmartWare QoS features described in Chapter
15 , “ Link Scheduler Configuration ” later in this
user guide address these diverse and common needs.
