QoS Section
This chapter will describe the
QoS (Quality of Service) Section
accessible
from the
Home Page
of the
P.RG F4202N
.
Be aware that any configuration changes could compromise your connectivity.
Quality of Service refers to the capability of a network device to provide better
service to selected network traffic. This is achieved by processing higher priority
traffic before lower priority traffic.
As Quality of Service is dependent on the "weakest link in the chain", failure of a
single component along the data path can easily cause a VoIP call or a Video
on Demand (VoD) broadcast to fail miserably.
QoS must therefore obviously be addressed end-to-end.
GENERAL
The 'General' tab provides a Quality of Service "wizard", with which you can
configure your QoS parameters according to predefined profiles, with just a few
clicks. A chosen QoS profile will automatically define QoS rules, which you can
view and edit in the rest of the QoS tab screens.
WAN Devices Bandwidth (Rx/Tx).
Before selecting the QoS profile that mostly
suits your needs, select your bandwidth from this combo-box. If you do not see
an appropriate entry, select 'User Defined', and enter your Tx and Rx band-
widths manually.
Tx Bandwidth.
Enter your Tx bandwidth in Kbits per second.
Rx Bandwidth.
Enter your Rx bandwidth in Kbits per second.
