Configuring Quality of Service (QoS)
Quality of service (QoS) assigns priority to various applications, users, or data 
flows, or guarantees a level of performance to a data flow. These guarantees are 
important when the network capacity is insufficient. For example, for real-time 
streaming multimedia applications such as voice-over-IP, online games, and IP-TV 
because they require fixed bit rate and are delay sensitive, and for networks 
where the capacity is a limited resource.
Configuring Bandwidth Management
You can use the device bandwidth management feature to manage the bandwidth 
of the traffic flowing from the secure network (LAN) to the insecure network 
(WAN).
Configuring Bandwidth
You can limit the bandwidth to reduce the rate at which the device transmits data. 
You can also use a bandwidth profile to limit the outbound traffic, which prevents 
the LAN users from consuming all of the bandwidth of the Internet link. 
To set the upstream and downstream bandwidth:
STEP 1 Choose QoS > Bandwidth Management.
STEP  2 In the Bandwidth Management field, check Enable. The maximum bandwidth 
provided by your ISP appears in the Bandwidth section.
STEP  3 In the Bandwidth Table, enter the following information for the WAN interface:
Upstream The bandwidth (kb/s) used for sending data to the 
Internet.
