16.7 Quality of Service
This feature allows you to configure Quality of Service parameters in your Router. Network-based applications and
traffic are growing at a high rate, producing an ever-increasing demand for bandwidth and network capacity.
Bandwidth and capacity cannot be expanded infinitely, requiring that bandwidth-demanding services be delivered over
existing infrastructure, without incurring additional expensive investments. The next logical means of ensuring optimal
use of existing resources are Quality of Service (
QoS) mechanisms for congestion management and avoidance. Quality
of Service refers to the capability of a network device to provide better service to selected network traffic. This is
achieved by shaping the traffic and processing higher priority traffic before lower priority traffic.
16.7.1 General
If you click the Quality of Service link in the Advanced screen and then click General in the left submenu, the
following screen will appear. This screen allows you to configure general QoS settings. Enter the appropriate settings,
and then click Apply.
NOTE: Choosing a new QoS profile will cause all previous QoS settings to be lost.
