QoS
QoS stands for Quality of Service. VoIP traffic, file downloads, gaming, streaming media and IM
sessions are all competing for your bandwidth. QoS prioritizes your network traffic so that the
traffic you identify as most important can pass first. However, because Vonage is committed to
providing you with the highest quality digital voice service, voice traffic is always given the highest
priority.
For example, let's say your child is busy on the computer downloading their favorite music videos.
You receive a phone call. The QoS feature of the V-Portal will automatically prioritize the voice
traffic so that your phone call has the highest possible audio quality and the music video
download continues without interruption.
The QoS page has two tabs Novice and Power User. On the Novice tab, we've simplified the
options. You can set the priority for the services you use most. You can choose the priority for the
fo llowing pre-defined services:
•
Downloading Files & Web Browsing
•
Email
•
Streaming Medi
•
VPN
T he P ow er User tab gives you the ability to "fine tune" your QoS settings. It allows you to set
p riorities based on IP address or port range. The Power User tab assumes some knowledge of
networking, QoS, or in some cases information from other applications.
To access the QoS page on your V-Portal:
F rom the home page click on the Advanced Setup tab. Click on the QoS sub-menu. The QoS
page is displayed.
View the Terms of Service by visiting the Vonage website at www.vonage.com/tos. Pay particular attention to
Section 11 which explains limitations on Warranty, Remedy and Liability.
