QoS - Quality of Service
Quality of Service Introduction
If you’ve ever found your ‘net’ speed has slowed to a crawl because another family member is
using a P2P file sharing program, you’ll understand why the Quality of Service features in the
routers is such a breakthrough for home users and office users.
QoS: Keeping Your Net Connection Fast and Responsive
Configurable by internal IP address, external IP address, protocol, and port, the Quality of Service
(QoS) gives you full control over which types of outgoing data traffic should be given priority by the
router, ensuring bandwidth-consumption data like gaming packets, latency-sensitive application
like voice, or even mission critical files, move through the router at lightning speed, even under
heavy load. You can throttle the speed at which different types of outgoing data pass through the
router. In addition, you can simply change the priority of different types of upload data and let the
router sort out the actual speeds.
QoS Setup
Please choose the QoS in the Configuration item of the left window as depicted below.
After clicking the QoS item, you can Add/Edit/Delete a QoS policy. This page will show the brief
information for policies you have added or edited. This page will also display the total available
(Non-assigned) bandwidth, in percentage, can be assigned.
Application: A name that identifies an existing policy.
Direction: The traffic flow direction to be controlled by the QoS policy.
There are two settings to be provided in the Router:
 LAN to WAN: You want to control the traffic flow from the local network to the outside world.
e.g., you have a FTP server inside the local network and you want to have a limited traffic
rate controlled by the QoS policy. So, you need to add a policy with LAN to WAN direction
setting.
 WAN to LAN: Control Traffic flow from the WAN to LAN. The connection maybe either
issued from LAN to WAN or WAN to LAN.)
