Predefined QoS Classes

3. Use Allow or Allow and Forward rules to assign different types of connections
to QoS classes.
For example, if Traffic Shaper is enabled for outgoing traffic, and you create an
Allow rule associating all outgoing VPN traffic with the Urgent QoS class, then
Traffic Shaper will handle outgoing VPN traffic as specified in the bandwidth
policy for the Urgent class.
See Adding and Editing Rules on page 215.
Note: Traffic Shaper must be enabled for the direction of traffic specified in the rule.
Note: If you do not assign a connection type to a class, Traffic Shaper automatically
assigns the connection type to the predefined "Default" class.
Predefined QoS Classes
Traffic Shaper provides the following predefined QoS classes.
To assign traffic to these classes, define firewall rules as described in Using Rules
on page 211.
Table 21: Predefined QoS Classes
