QoS autoshaper
The Auto Traffic Shaper uses a set of inbuilt traffic shaping rules to attempt to ensure
low latency on interactive connections, while maintaining fast throughput on bulk
transfers.
Click Edit next to the network interface on which you wish to enable the autoshaper.
Click Enable and enter the Outbound Speed (upstream speed) of this interface's
network connection in megabits per second. Click Finish.
Note
If you have a PPTP or PPPoE connection to the Internet, enter approximately 80 – 90%
of the speed that the ISP supplied to account for protocol overheads.
QoS traffic shaping
Traffic shaping provides a level of control over the relative performance of various types
of IP traffic. The traffic shaping feature of your SnapGear unit allows you to allocate
High, Medium, or Low priority to the following services; domain (tcp), domain (udp),
ftp, ftp-data, http, https, imap, irc, nntp, ntp, pop3, smtp, ssh, and telnet.
