WAN Profile Speeds
Upload Speed and Download Speed
: Setting the Upload
Speed and Download Speed is required to control traffic
flow accurately. Adjust the sliding bar to restrict the
maximum upload and/or download speed for the Internet
source(s) you are using. For example, you might restrict
the upload speed to prioritize available bandwidth for
download or to reduce overall bandwidth use in order to
lower costs. It is recommended that you experiment with
different values for your particular Internet connection
for best results.
NOTE
: Upload speed is the speed at which data can be
transferred to your ISP. Download speed is the speed at
which data can be transferred to you from your ISP. You
can test your connection speeds with a service such as
speedtest.net.
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.

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.
