Page 113: Appendix: Quality Of Service Setup Example
This example guide sets up QoS with two devices (PC and laptop) connecting via Ethernet cable to an NF18ACV router. One device (PC) is assigned high priority traffic while the other device (laptop) is assigned a low priority. Before Quality of Service can be implemented, the first step involves reserving an IP address for each device, identified by their unique MAC addresses. -
