DESCRIPTION
Active QoS
Use this field to turn on QoS to improve your network performance.
Traffic priority will be
automatically assigned by
Select how the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries assigns priorities to various
incoming and outgoing traffic flows.
None
: Disables auto priority mapping and has the AMG1302/AMG1202-
TSeries put packets into the queues according to your classification rules.
Traffic which does not match any of the classification rules is mapped into the
default queue with the lowest priority.
Ethernet Priority
: Automatically assign priority based on the IEEE 802.1p
priority level.
IP Precedence
: Automatically assign priority based on the first three bits of
the TOS field in the IP header.
Packet Length
: Automatically assign priority based on the packet size.
Smaller packets get higher priority since control, signaling, VoIP, internet
gaming, or other real-time packets are usually small while larger packets are
usually best effort data packets like file transfers.

DESCRIPTION
Active
Select to enable or disable this queue.
Name
Enter the descriptive name of this queue.
Interface
Select the interface to which this queue is applied.
This field is read-only if you are editing the queue.
Priority
Select the priority level (from 1 to 3) of this queue.
The smaller the number, the higher the priority level. Traffic assigned to higher priority
queues gets through faster while traffic in lower priority queues is dropped if the network is
congested.
Weight
Select the weight (from 1 to 8) of this queue.
If two queues have the same priority level, the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries divides the
bandwidth across the queues according to their weights. Queues with larger weights get
more bandwidth than queues with smaller weights.
Rate Limit
Specify the maximum transmission rate (in Kbps) allowed for traffic on this queue.

The Class Setup Screen
Use this screen to add, edit or delete QoS classifiers. A classifier groups traffic into data flows
according to specific criteria such as the source address, destination address, source port number,
destination port number or incoming interface. For example, you can configure a classifier to select
traffic from the same protocol port (such as Telnet) to form a flow.
You can give different priorities to traffic that the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries forwards out through
the WAN interface. Give high priority to voice and video to make them run more smoothly.
Similarly, give low priority to many large file downloads so that they do not reduce the quality of
other applications.

Rule Index
Select the rule’s index number from the drop-down list box.
Class Configuration
Active
Use this field to enable or disable the QoS class rule.
Ether Type
Select a predefined application to configure a class for the matched traffic.
If you select
IPv4
or
IPv6
, you also need to configure source or destination IP address,
MAC address, DHCP options, DSCP value or the protocol type.
If you select
ARP
, you also need to configure source or destination MAC address.
If you select
802.1Q
, you can configure an 802.1p priority level and VLAN ID.
Interface
Select an interface if you want to classify the traffic received by it.
To Queue
Select a queue that applies to this class.
You should have configured a queue in the
Queue Setup
screen already.

If you select
From LAN
in the
Interface
field, you can select specific interface(s) from
which traffic is received.

ra3
means wireless interfaces WLAN0 to WLAN3.
If you select
From WAN
in the
Interface
field, you can select a specific WAN connection
(PVC0~PVC2) from which traffic is received.
Source
IP Address
Select the check box and enter the source IP address in dotted decimal notation. A blank
IP address means any source IP address.

Mac Netmask
Type the mask for the specified MAC address to determine which bits a packet’s MAC
address should match.
Enter “f” for each bit of the specified source MAC address that the traffic’s MAC address
should match. Enter “0” for the bit(s) of the matched traffic’s MAC address, which can be
of any hexadecimal character(s). For example, if you set the MAC address to
00:13:49:00:00:00 and the mask to ff:ff:ff:00:00:00, a packet with a MAC address of
00:13:49:12:34:56 matches this criteria.
Exclude
Select this option to exclude the packets that match the specified criteria from this
classifier.
Destination
IP Address
