ADSL2+ 4-Port Ethernet USB Wireless-G Router - User Guide Discipline limited. So in the example above CoS1 data is not rate limited to 100Kbps but instead all 300Kbps is transmitted. The side effect is that a misconfigured stream can potentially take all bandwidth. PRIOWRR This is a priority based weighted round robin algorithm operating on CoS2-CoS6. CoS1 queues have the highest priority and are not controlled by the WRR algorithm.
ADSL2+ 4-Port Ethernet USB Wireless-G Router - User Guide Example 2: Low Latency Queue Discipline Enabled In this second example, Low Latency Queue Discipline is enabled. CoS1 is not rate controlled (hence the field is disabled). CoS2 takes 100 kbits when there is no CoS1 packets. CoS6 has 300 kbits when there is no CoS1 or CoS2 packets. This is similar to the HTB queue discipline as they are both rate-based algorithm, except that CoS1 is handled differently.
ADSL2+ 4-Port Ethernet USB Wireless-G Router - User Guide Example 3: PRIOWRR Enabled In this third example, PRIOWRR is enabled. Since PRIOWRR operates only on the number of packets being transmitted, the max rate field has been disabled. Only percentage can be assigned to the CoS2 - CoS6. CoS1 is not rate controlled (hence the field is not displayed). When there is no CoS1 packets, CoS2, CoS3, CoS4 each has 10 percent, and CoS6 has 70 percent.
