Queues
Queues and rules work in conjunction
to prioritize bandwidth for the most
critical operations. Multiple rules can be
associated with one queue. Use rules to
associate your more critical operations
with queues that have higher
bandwidth settings. For example, you
might have two queues, one for “critical” and one for “secondary” with critical having most of the bandwidth
percentage. Use rules to associate your most important bandwidth needs (POS system, VoIP, etc.) with the
critical queue. Restrict the bandwidth available for less important functions with the secondary queue.
Assign percentages of both upload and download bandwidth to each queue. If you assign 80% download
bandwidth to the first queue, the next queue will be forced to be 20% or less.
Click Add to create a new Traffic Shaping/QoS queue.
Queue Name : Choose a name that is meaningful
to you.
DSCP (DiffServ) Tag : Differentiated Services
Code Point (DSCP) is the successor to TOS (Type
of Service). Use this field to ‘tag’ the traffic by
putting the value in the DSCP header of each IP
packet that flows through this queue. Use the
value of ‘0’ to clear the existing DSCP value in the
packet header.
DSCP Tagging is sometimes used so that other
networking equipment, upstream or post-NAT,
can do traffic shaping based on the DSCP Tags as
opposed to IP addresses or ports.
This setting is optional.
Upload Bandwidth
Enable Upload QoS : (Default: Enabled.) Deselect
if you want your rule to apply to download
traffic only. Leave this selected to include upload
restrictions with this queue.
Borrow Spare Bandwidth : (Default: Enabled.) When this is enabled, the interfaces/protocols associated with
this rule will borrow unused bandwidth from other rules. Disabling borrowing will restrict the traffic to the
specified bandwidth. Higher priority queues will be offered excess bandwidth first.
Upload Bandwidth : This is the percentage of the connected WAN upload bandwidth that will be reserved for
the specified traffic. The maximum value is adjusted to the remaining percentage after other rules receive
their share.
Upload Priority : The priority value has two different effects on traffic. Higher priority traffic is handled before
lower priority traffic, which can lead to shorter response times. Also, when spare bandwidth is available it is
offered to higher priority queues first. Move the slider to select from the following options (Default: Normal):
• Lowest
• Lower
• Below Normal
• Normal
