Configuring Quality of Service (QoS)
The Cisco RV215W lets you configure the following quality of service (QoS)
features:

Quality of service (QoS) assigns priority to various applications, users, or data
flows, or guarantees a level of performance to a data flow. This guarantee is
important when the network capacity is insufficient. Especially for real-time
streaming multimedia applications such as voice-over-IP, online games, and IP-TV,
which often require fixed bit rates and are delay sensitive, and in networks where
the capacity is a limited resource, for example in cellular data communication.
Configuring Bandwidth Management
You can use the device bandwidth management feature to manage the bandwidth
of the traffic flowing from the secure network (LAN) to the insecure network
(WAN).
