Figure 46. Quality of Service rate reservation control points

All rate reservation parameter values are in kbps. If no rate reservation parameter is

set, rate reservation will be disabled for that interface or interface and traffic

combination.

A rate reservation, which guarantees a certain amount of bandwidth, can be made for traffic

that enters the EnRoute500 through a particular interface and exits it through another

interface. The parameters that are used to set these rate reservations are in the ‘qos’ interface

and are of the form ‘out.<output intf>.<input intf>.reserve’, where <output intf> is one of the

following: default, eth0, mesh0, wlan1, wlan2, wlan3, wlan4; and <input intf> is one of the

following: default, eth0, local, mesh0, wlan1, wlan2, wlan3, wlan4. The

‘out.default.default.reserve’ value is applied to interfaces that have the ‘out.<output intf>.<input

intf>.reserve’ parameter set to ‘inherit’ or is left blank. These parameters can be set via the

web interface under the “Advanced QoS” tab on the “QoS” page (see Figure 44).

Typically, most rate reservations will involve reserving bandwidth for traffic from a particular

client interface to the mesh0 interface. The example below shows how to reserve differing

amount of bandwidth on mesh0 for traffic originating from the wlan1, wlan2, wlan3, and wlan4

interfaces.
