QoS
QoS (Quality of Service):
Enable this option if you want to allow QoS to prioritize your
traffic Priority Classifiers.
HTTP:
Allows the access point to recognize HTTP transfers for many
common audio and video streams and prioritize them above
other traffic. Such streams are frequently used by digital media
players.
Automatic:
When enabled, this option causes the access point to
automatically attempt to prioritize traffic streams that it does not
otherwise recognize, based on the behavior that the streams
exhibit. This acts to de-prioritize streams that exhibit bulk transfer
characteristics, such as file transfers, while leaving interactive
traffic, such as gaming or VoIP, running at a normal priority.
Name:
Enter a name for the new QoS rule in the field provided.
Priority:
Use the drop-down menu to select the desired priority:
Background (BK)
,
Best Effort (BE)
,
Video (VI)
, or
Voice (VO)
.
Quality of Service (QoS) enhances the experience of using a network by prioritizing the traffic of different applications.
A QoS Rule identifies a specific message flow and assigns a priority to that flow. For most applications, the priority classifiers ensure the
right priorities and specific QoS Rules are not required.
QoS supports overlaps between rules. If more than one rule matches a specific message flow, the rule with the highest priority will be used.
