8. QoS Configuration
Overview
The Router supports QoS, providing high quality of network service.
It will classify outgoing packets based on policies defined by users and provide better
response or performance to various real-time applications.
8.1 QoS
Setup
The following web page management will guide you on how to setup QoS and make QoS
work.
Figure: QoS Setup
Settings – QoS Setup.
QoS Feature
•
Enable QoS
– Users can choose to Enable QoS (Quality of
Service). If set to "enable" QoS, the QoS will allow higher
priority packets to pass through the device first.
•
Queuing Method
–The methods for managing your queue.
"Priority Queuing" is one of the first queuing variations to be
widely implemented. This is based on the concept that certain
types of traffic can be identified and shuffled to the front of the
output queue, so that some traffic are always transmitted
ahead of others.
IP TOS (Type
of Service)
Feature
•
Process TOS Field
–An 8 bits field in the IP packet header
designed to contain values indicating how each packet should
be handled in the network. If you choose "enable" then this
function will process the IP Type of Service field.
•
Overwrite policy priority
– Choose “yes” to set the priority of
TOS field in IP packet and overwrite the priority defined in
policy configuration
