12.1.2 QoS
More and more applications need increasingly larger bandwidths, which are not always
available. Quality of Service (QoS) makes it possible to distribute the available bandwidths
effectively and intelligently. Certain applications can be given preference and bandwidth re-
served for them.
In the Firewall -> Policies -> QoS menu, a list of all QoS rules is shown.
12.1.2.1 New
Choose the New button to set up new QoS rules.
Description
If QoS is not activated for this policy, bear in mind that the data
cannot be prioritised on the sender side either.
A policy with QoS activated is not only used for QoS, but for the
firewall, too. Bear in mind, that traffic that is not explicitly al-
lowed, is blocked by the firewall!
Only for Apply QoS = enabled
Select the priority with which the data specified by the policy is
handled on the send side.
Possible values:
• None (default value): No priority.
• Low Latency: Low Latency Transmission (LTT), i.e. hand-
ling of data with the lowest possible latency, e.g. suitable for
VoIP data.
• High
• Medium
• Low
