Quality of Service
The QoS feature allows you to configure Quality of Service parameters in your Router. Network-based applications
and traffic are growing at a high rate, producing an ever-increasing demand for bandwidth and network capacity.
Bandwidth and capacity cannot be expanded infinitely, requiring that bandwidth-demanding services be delivered over
existing infrastructure, without incurring additional expensive investments. The next logical means of ensuring optimal
use of existing resources are Quality of Service (
Q
o
S
) mechanisms for congestion management and avoidance. Quality
of Service refers to the capability of a network device to provide better service to selected network traffic. This is
achieved by shaping the traffic and processing higher priority traffic before lower priority traffic.
15.7.1
General
If you click the
Quality of Service
link in the
Advanced
screen, the following screen appears. This screen allows
you to configure general QoS settings. Enter the appropriate settings, and then click
Apply
.
NOTE:
Choosing a new QoS profile will cause all previous QoS settings to be lost.
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 bandwidths manually.
•
Enter your Tx bandwidth in Kbits per second.
•
Enter your Rx bandwidth in Kbits per second.
Select the profile that mostly suits your bandwidth usage. Each profile entry displays a quote describing what the
profile is best used for, and the QoS priority levels granted to each bandwidth consumer in this profile.
•
Default - No QoS preferences
•
P2P User - Peer-to-peer and file sharing applications will receive priority
•
Triple Play User - VoIP and video streaming will receive priority
•
Home Worker - VPN and browsing will receive priority
•
Gamer - Game-related traffic will receive priority
•
Priority By Host - This entry provides the option to configure which computer in your LAN will receive the
highest priority and which the lowest. If you have additional computers, they will receive medium priority.
High Priority Host:
Enter the host name or IP address of the computer to which you would like to grant the
highest bandwidth priority.
Low Priority Host:
Enter the host name or IP address of the computer to which you would like to grant the
lowest bandwidth priority.

Traffic Priority
If you click the
Quality of Service
link in the
Advanced
screen and then click
Traffic Priority
in the left submenu,
the following screen will appear. This screen allows you to configure QoS to prioritize input and output traffic.
Traffic Priority manages and avoids traffic congestion by defining inbound and outbound priority rules for each
device on the Router. These rules determine the priority that packets, traveling through the device, will receive. QoS
parameters (DSCP marking and packet priority) are set per packet, on an application basis.
QoS can be configured using flexible rules, according to the following parameters:
•
Source/destination IP address, MAC address, or host name
•
Device
•
Source/destination ports
•
Limit the rule for specific days and hours
The Router supports two priority marking methods for packet prioritization:
•
DSCP
•
802.1p Priority
The matching of packets by rules, also known as Stateful Packet Inspection is connection-based and uses the
Router’s firewall mechanism. Once a packet matches a rule, all subsequent packets with the same attributes receive
the same QoS parameters, both inbound and outbound.
A packet can match more than one rule. Therefore:
•
The first class rule has precedence over all other class rules (scanning is stopped once the first rule is reached).
•
The first traffic-priority (classless) rule has precedence over all other traffic-priority rules.
•
There is no prevention of a traffic-priority rule conflicting with a class rule. In this case, the priority and DSCP
setting of the class rule (if given) will take precedence.
To set up a traffic priority rule, click the adjacent
New Entry
link for the input/output device you want to configure.

User Guide
If you clicked
New Entry,
the following screen will appear. At this screen, do the following:
1.
Select the desired
Source Address, Destination Address, and Protocol
options from the drop-down lists.
2.
Click the
Device
check box if you will apply the settings to a device. By default this box is cleared.
3.
Select the desired option from the
Set Priority
drop-down list. (Zero is the lowest priority level.)
4.
Click
OK
to save the settings.
Source Address
—
The source address of packets sent or received from the LAN computer. The drop-down list
displays all the host names or IP addresses of currently connected LAN computers, as well as the options 'Any' and
'User Defined'. Select an address from the list, or select
Any
to apply the rule on all computers. If you would like
add a new address, select the
User Defined
option in the drop-down list. This will commence a sequence that will
add a new network object, representing the LAN computer. The network object may be an IP address, subnet or
range, a MAC address or a host name.
Destination Address
—
The destination address of packets sent or received from the network object. This address can
be configured in the same manner as the source address. This entry enables further filtration of the packets.
Protocols
—
You may also specify a traffic protocol. Selecting the
Show All Services
option in the drop-down list
will expand the list of available protocols. Select a protocol or add a new one using the
User Defined
option. This
will commence a sequence that will add a new service, representing the protocol.
Operation
—
Set rule priority with Quality of Service:
Set Priority
—
Check this check-box to add a priority to the rule then select between one of eight priority
levels, zero being the lowest and seven the highest (each priority level is mapped to low/medium/high
priority). This sets the priority of a packet on the connection matching the rule, while routing the packet.
The order of the rules' appearance represents both the order in which they were defined and the sequence
by which they will be applied. You may change this order after your rules are already defined (without having
to delete and then re-add them), by using the Move Up and Move Down action icons as shown in the following
image.
