DESCRIPTION
Destination IP
Address
This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination. Routing is always
based on network number. If you need to specify a route to a single host, use a subnet
mask of 255.255.255.255 in the subnet mask field to force the network number to be
identical to the host ID.
IP Subnet Mask
Enter the IP subnet mask here.
Gateway IP
Address
Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is a router or switch on the same
network segment as the device's LAN or WAN port. The gateway helps forward packets to
their destinations.
Metric
Enter the number of transmission hops (routers) that need to accross from the Device to
the destination.

This is the number of an individual static route.
Destination
This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination. Routing is always

Prefix Length
An IPv6 prefix length
specifies how many most significant bits (starting from the left) in
the address compose the network address. This field displays the bit number of the IPv6
subnet mask.
Gateway
This is the IPv6 address of the gateway. The gateway is a router or switch on the same
network segment as the device's LAN or WAN port. The gateway has a route to the
destination network and helps forward packets to their destinations.
Device
This specifies the LAN or WAN PVC.

Quality of Service (QoS)
8.1
Overview
Use the
QoS
screen to set up your Device to use QoS for traffic management.
Quality of Service (QoS) refers to both a network’s ability to deliver data with minimum delay, and
the networking methods used to control bandwidth. QoS allows the Device to group and prioritize
application traffic and fine-tune network performance.
Without QoS, all traffic data are equally likely to be dropped when the network is congested. This
can cause a reduction in network performance and make the network inadequate for time-critical
applications such as video-on-demand.
The Device assigns each packet a priority and then queues the packet accordingly. Packets assigned
with a high priority are processed more quickly than those with low priorities if there is congestion,
allowing time-sensitive applications to flow more smoothly. Time-sensitive applications include both
those that require a low level of latency (delay) and a low level of jitter (variations in delay) such as
Voice over IP (VoIP) or Internet gaming, and those for which jitter alone is a problem such as
Internet radio or streaming video.
In the following figure, your Internet connection has an upstream transmission speed of 50 Mbps.
You configure a classifier to assign the highest priority queue (6) to VoIP traffic from the LAN
interface, so that voice traffic would not get delayed when there is network congestion. Traffic from
the boss’s IP address (192.168.1.23 for example) is mapped to queue 5. Traffic that does not
match these two classes are assigned priority queue based on the internal QoS mapping table on
the Device.

screen
(
Section 8.3 on page 115
) to configure QoS settings on the Device.
Use the
Class Setup
screen
(
Section 8.4 on page 117
) to configure QoS settings on the Device.
Use the
Game List
screen
(
Section 8.5 on page 121
) to to give priority to traffic for specific
games.
8.1.2
What You Need to Know About QoS
802.1p
QoS is used to prioritize source-to-destination traffic flows. All packets in the same flow are given
the same priority. 802.1p is a way of managing traffic in a network by grouping similar types of
traffic together and treating each type as a class. You can use 802.1p to give different priorities to
different packet types.
Tagging and Marking
In a QoS class, you can configure whether to add or change the DiffServ Code Point (DSCP) value
and IEEE 802.1p priority level in a matched packet. When the packet passes through a compatible
network, the networking device, such as a backbone switch, can provide specific treatment or
service based on the tag or marker.
Finding Out More
See
Section 8.6 on page 122
for advanced technical information on QoS.

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 Device assigns priorities to various incoming and outgoing traffic
flows.
None
: Disables auto priority mapping and has the Device 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.
