⑤ QoS Quality of Service (QoS) provides the means to guarantee a certain level of a specified resource to selected traffic on a network. Quality can be defined as a maintained level of bandwidth, low latency, and no packet losses. The main benefits of a QoS-aware network are: - The ability to prioritize traffic and thus allow critical flows to be served before flows with lesser priority.
Page 47
⑥ NAT Traversal A broadband router allows devices on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection to the Internet. This is done by forwarding network traffic from the private network to the “outside”, that is, the Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased since most broadband routers are pre-configured to stop attempts to access the private network (LAN) from the public network/Internet.
• NAT traversal Settings: - Enable: when enabled, the Network Transmitters attempt to configure port mapping in a NAT router on your network, using UPnP™. Note that UPnP™ must be enabled in the network camera. (Please see Setup > System > Network > UPnP, on “3.5.5 System >...
