have a slow Internet uplink. It helps to reduce
the impact that large low priority network
packets can have on more urgent ones
by breaking the large packets into several
smaller packets.
Automatic Uplink
When enabled, this option causes the router
Speed:
to automatically measure the useful uplink
bandwidth each time the WAN interface is
re-established (after a reboot, for example).
Measured Uplink
This is the uplink speed measured when
Speed:
the WAN interface was last re-established.
The value may be lower than that reported
by your ISP as it does not include all of the
network protocol overheads associated with
your ISP's network. Typically, this figure will
be between 87% and 91% of the stated uplink
speed for xDSL connections and around 5
kbps lower for cable network connections.
Uplink Speed:
If Automatic Uplink Speed is disabled, this options allows you to set the uplink speed manually. Uplink speed is the
speed at which data can be transferred from the router to your ISP. This is determined by your ISP. ISPs often specify
speed as a downlink/uplink pair; for example, 1.5Mbps/284kbps. For this example, you would enter "284". Alternatively
you can test your uplink speed with a service such as http://www.dslreports.com/. Note however that sites such as DSL
Reports, because they do not consider as many network protocol overheads, will generally note speeds slightly lower
than the Measured Uplink Speed or the ISP rated speed.
