Queues

Queues and rules work in conjunction to prioritize bandwidth for the most critical operations. Multiple rules can be
associated with one queue. Use rules to associate your more critical operations with queues that have higher bandwidth
settings. For example, you might have two queues, one for "critical" and one for "secondary" with critical having most of
the bandwidth percentage. Use rules to associate your most important bandwidth needs (POS system, VoIP, etc.) with the
critical queue. Restrict the bandwidth available for less important functions with the secondary queue.
Assign percentages of both upload and download bandwidth to each queue. If you assign 80% download bandwidth to the
first queue, the next queue will be forced to be 20% or less.

Upload Bandwidth

Enable Upload QoS: (Default: Enabled.) Deselect if you want your rule to apply to download traffic only. Leave this
selected to include upload restrictions with this queue.
Borrow Spare Bandwidth: (Default: Enabled.) When this is enabled, the interfaces/protocols associated with this rule will
borrow unused bandwidth from other rules. Disabling borrowing will restrict the traffic to the specified bandwidth. Higher
priority queues will be offered excess bandwidth first.
Upload Bandwidth: This is the percentage of the connected WAN upload bandwidth that will be reserved for the
specified traffic. The maximum value is adjusted to the remaining percentage after other rules receive their share.
