Queues
Queues and rules work in conjunction to prioritize bandwidth for the most critical operations. Multiple rules can be associated with one queue. Use
rules to associate your more critical operations with queues that have higher bandwidth settings. For example, you might have two queues, one
for "critical" and one for "secondary" with critical having most of the bandwidth percentage. Use rules to associate your most important bandwidth
needs (POS system, VoIP, etc.) with the critical queue. Restrict the bandwidth available for less important functions with the secondary queue.
Assign percentages of both upload and download bandwidth to each queue. If you assign 80% download bandwidth to the first queue, the next
queue will be forced to be 20% or less.
Click Add to create a new Traffic Shaping/QoS queue.
Queue Name: Choose a name that is meaningful to you.
Upload Bandwidth Enable Upload QoS: (Default: Enabled.) Deselect if you want your rule to apply to download traffic only. Leave this selected
to include upload restrictions with this queue.
Borrow Spare Bandwidth: (Default: Enabled.) When this is enabled, the interfaces/protocols associated with this rule will borrow unused band-
width from other rules. Disabling borrowing will restrict the traffic to the specified bandwidth. Higher priority queues will be offered excess bandwidth
first.
Upload Bandwidth: This is the percentage of the connected WAN upload bandwidth that will be reserved for the specified traffic. The maximum
value is adjusted to the remaining percentage after other rules receive their share.
Upload Priority: The priority value has two different effects on traffic. Higher priority traffic is handled before lower priority traffic, which can lead
to shorter response times. Also, when spare bandwidth is available it is offered to higher priority queues first. Move the slider to select from the
following options (Default: Normal):
• Lowest
• Lower
