Configuring Quality of Service
This section describes how to configure Layer-2 and Layer-3 Quality of Service (QoS).
Configuring Class-of-Service QoS
The QoS Settings page lets you configure Layer-3 Class-of-Service Quality of Service (QoS). This
configures Differentiated Services (DiffServ) values for each CoS. DiffServ is an architecture
providing different types or levels of service for IP traffic. DiffServ (according to RFC 2474),
prioritizes certain traffic types based on priority, accomplishing a higher-level QoS at the expense
of other traffic types. By prioritizing packets, DiffServ routers can minimize transmission delays for
time-sensitive packets such as VoIP packets.
You can assign DiffServ to the following class of services (CoS):
■ Media Premium: RTP packets sent to the LAN
■ Control Premium: Control protocol (SIP) packets sent to the LAN
■ Gold: HTTP streaming packets sent to the LAN
■ Bronze: OAMP packets sent to the LAN
The mapping of an application to its CoS and traffic type is shown in the table below:
