Qos Based On Ip Or Mac Address; Mapping Other Qos Priority Settings To Homeplug Av Qos; Table 46 Priority Settings - ZyXEL Communications NBG-318S - V3.60 User Manual

• You can configure your NBG318S to give priority to powerline network traffic depending
on its destination (MAC Address or IP Port Number Priority).
• You can also map the priority settings (VLAN or ToS priority settings) of traffic from
outside your powerline network to priority settings for your powerline network (Priority
Mapping).
• Priority can also be assigned according to traffic type such as IGMP (Default Priority).
Powerline traffic priority can be set at Highest, High, Mid and Low. The following priority
settings are guidelines. The requirements of your powerline network may differ.

10.4.1 QoS Based on IP or MAC Address

You can prioritize traffic passing through your NBG318S based on the device it is intended
for. Do this by setting the MAC address or IP address of a device(s) on your network and the
level of priority of network traffic going to that device.
For example, if you have a digital media adapter such as the DMA-1100P on your network set
up to play movie files on your T.V., you can set this device to High. This is because if video or
music traffic is delivered too slowly, quality problems may occur.

10.4.2 Mapping other QoS Priority Settings to HomePlug AV QoS

Wired networks use QoS priority settings such as VLAN priority settings or ToS (Type of
Service) settings to help network traffic flow more smoothly. However, powerline devices
cannot use these priority settings unless they are mapped over to HomePlug AV QoS priority
settings.
(VLAN priority settings are not to be confused with VLAN ID. The VLAN tag contains both
priority settings (0~7) and ID information (1~4095).)
For example, your ISP (A) may use VLAN priority settings to identify and prioritize VoIP
(Voice over IP) traffic or you may have a VoIP device (B) attached to your NBG318S which
adds ToS (Type of Service) priorities to data it sends. By giving high priority to VoIP traffic in
your powerline network, VoIP traffic flows more smoothly.
