Mega 105WR Router - Manual 4.5.26 QoS Shaper Configuration The Shaper Configuration page (Figure 4-44) is accessed by selecting Shaper on the Advanced main page. Three shaper algorithms are supported: • HTB • Low Latency Queue Discipline • PRIOWRR Note—Egress TCA is required if shaper is configured for that interface.
Mega 105WR Router - Manual 100Kbps but instead all 300Kbps is transmitted. The side effect is that a misconfigured stream can potentially take all bandwidth. PRIOWRR This is a priority based weighted round robin algorithm operating on CoS2-CoS6. CoS1 queues have the highest priority and are not controlled by the WRR algorithm.
Mega 105WR Router - Manual Example 2: Low Latency Queue Discipline Enabled In this second example shown in Figure 4-46, Low Latency Queue Discipline is enabled. CoS1 is not rate controlled (hence the field is disabled). CoS2 takes 100 kbits when there are no CoS1 packets.
Mega 105WR Router - Manual Example 3: PRIOWRR Enabled In the third example, shown in Figure 4-47, PRIOWRR is enabled. Since PRIOWRR operates only on the number of packets being transmitted, the max rate field has been disabled. Percentages are assigned to CoS2 - CoS6 and CoS1 is not rate controlled (hence the field is not displayed).
Mega 105WR Router - Manual 4.5.27 Policy Routing Configuration The Policy Routing Configuration page shown in Figure 4-48 is accessed by selecting Policy Routing Configuration on the Advanced home page under QoS. This page enables you to configure policy routing and QoS. The policy routing configuration is discussed as follows. The QoS configuration is discussed in ‘‘Ingress Payload Database Configuration’’.

Mega 105WR Router - Manual Destination IP The IP address of the traffic destination. Mask The netmask of the destination. This field is required if the destination IP has been entered. Protocol The options are TCP, UDP, ICMP, Specify, and none. If you choose Specify, you need to enter the protocol number in the box next to the Protocol field.
4.5.28 Static Routing If the Mega 105WR router is connected to more than one network, you may need to set up a static route between them. A static route is a pre-defined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network. You can use static routing to allow different IP domain users to access the Internet through the Mega 105WR.
, with a firewall or some other interconnecting device at 10.0.0.10, and wish to have both local networks access the internet through your Mega 105WR, you would set as follows : new IP address = 192.168.1.0 mask = 255.255.255.0 and Gateway = 10.0.0.10 I.e.: If anybody on the 10.0.0.0 network is looking for any device on the 192.168.1.0...
Direction determines the direction that RIP routes will be updated. Selecting In means that the Mega 105WR will only incorporate received RIP information. Selecting Out means that the Mega 105WR will only send out RIP information. Selecting Both means that the Mega 105WR will incorporate received RIP information and send out updated RIP information.
If you forget your password, you can press and hold the reset button for 10 seconds (or more) to reset to factory default settings. The Mega 105WR will reset to its factory default configuration and all custom configurations (including ADSL user name and password) will be lost.
