Mega 100WR2 ADSL2+ Router - Manual 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. Of the three shaping algorithms available on the Shaper Configuration page, only one can be enabled at a time. An example of each configuration is given as follows.
Mega 100WR2 ADSL2+ Router - Manual Example 2: Low Latency Queue Discipline Enabled In this second example shown in Figure 4-46, Low Latency Queue Discipline is enabled. CoS1 is not rate controlled (hence the field is disabled). CoS2 takes 100 kbits when there are no CoS1 packets. CoS6 has 300 kbits when there are 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.
Mega 100WR2 ADSL2+ Router - Manual Example 3: PRIOWRR Enabled In the third example, shown in Figure 4-47, PRIOWRR is enabled. Since PRIOWRR operates only on the number of packets being transmitted, the max rate field has been disabled. Percentages are assigned to CoS2 - CoS6 and CoS1 is not rate controlled (hence the field is not displayed). When there are no CoS1 packets, CoS2, CoS3 and CoS4 each have 10 percent, and CoS6 has 70 percent.
