GWN7000 User Manual
Version 1.0.4.23
To activate QoS, check “Enable QoS”. Three tabs are available for configuration:
• Basic: Download and upload bandwidth speeds settings on each WAN interface.
• Upstream QoS: Upstream QoS allows creating Traffic Classes to prioritize traffic for specific resources
on the network by controlling transmission/upload rate. Note that different classes can be created and
assigned as Traffic filters by respecting following conditions:
✓ The total of Upstream bandwidth values of each created class should not exceed the upstream
bandwidth value configured in Basic.
✓ The remaining bandwidth will be lent to the next priority level of class.
✓ All filter options are summed together.
• Policer: While Upstream QoS is dealing with traffic transmission, Policer is controlling the incoming
traffic. Thus, allowing to create rules to specific targets to set priority and received traffic rate, giving the
GWN7000 the ability to drop the exceeding traffic when reaching the configured maximum rate.
• Smart Queue: The smart queue is an integrated network system that performs better per-packet/per
flow network scheduling, reduces the buffer bloat and keeps latency at acceptable levels.
Refer to the following tables for each tab option:
Table 13: QoS Basic
Enabled
Check to enable upstream and downstream bandwidth speeds for the selected
WAN interface.
Upstream
Set the Upstream value to specify the upload bandwidth for selected interface, the
value should end with Mbit, Kbit or with no unit if the set value is referring to “bit”
unit. Note that the set value will affect and limit the bandwidth values on created
classes on QoS Upstream.
Examples: 500Mbit
100Kbit
500
Downstream
Set the Downstream value to specify the download bandwidth speed for selected
interface, the value should end with “Mbit”, “Kbit” or with no unit if the set value is
referring to “bit” unit.
Examples: 1000Mbit
100Kbit
500
Table 14: Upstream QoS
Traffic Class
Name
Define a name for the traffic class.
Priority
Set the priority of the traffic class, the lower the value, the highest the priority. Valid
range is between 1 and 64.
