Configuring Virtual Server Quality of Service
Settings
Quality of service refers to the performance limits you set for a virtual server. For
example, an ISP might want to charge different amounts of money for virtual
servers depending on how much bandwidth allowed them.
You can enable these settings for the entire server or for a class of virtual servers in
the Server Manager, from the Status tab. However, you can override these server or
class-level settings for an individual virtual server.
Before enabling quality of service for a virtual server, you must first enable it for
the entire server, and also set some basic values. See "Using Quality of Service," on
page 221.
To configure the quality of service settings for a virtual server, follow these steps:
From the Class Manager, click the Virtual Servers tab.
1.
Click Quality of Service.
2.
A page appears listing all the virtual servers in the class and their quality of
service settings.
To enable quality of service for a virtual server, choose Enable from the
3.
pull-down list.
By default quality of service is disabled. Enabling quality of service increases
server overhead slightly.
Set the maximum bandwidth, in bytes per second, for the virtual server.
4.
Choose whether or not to enforce the maximum bandwidth setting.
5.
If you choose to enforce the maximum bandwidth, once the server reaches its
bandwidth limit additional connections are refused.
If you do not enforce the maximum bandwidth, when the maximum is
exceeded the server logs a message to the error log.
Choose the maximum number of connections allowed for the virtual server.
6.
This number is the number of concurrent requests processed.
