2.2.8 QoS

The QoS can let you classify Internet application traffic by source/destination IP, MAC
address and port number. You can assign priority for each type of application and reserve
bandwidth for it. The packets of applications with higher priority will always go first.
Lower priority applications will get bandwidth after higher priority applications get
enough bandwidth. This can let you have a better experience in using critical real time
services like Internet phone, video conference ...etc. All the applications not specified by
you are classified as rule name "Others". The rule with smaller priority number has
higher priority; the rule with larger priority number has lower priority. You can adjust the
priority of the rules by moving them up or down.
Note: If the total assigned bandwidth of higher priority applications is larger than
the maximum bandwidth provided by the WAN port, the other applications will not
get any bandwidth.
"Backup", the WAN port is disabled on start up.
But when other enabled WAN ports fail, the
backup WAN port will be activated and take over
all the traffic.
