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.
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 bandwidths of the Internet link.
To set the upstream bandwidth:
STEP 1 Select QoS > Bandwidth Management.
STEP 2 In the Global Settings, in the WAN QoS field, check Enable.
STEP 3 In the Bandwidth Table, enter the upstream bandwidth you want to allocate to
each of the available interfaces.:
STEP 4 Click Save.
Upstream The bandwidth (kb/s) used for sending data to the
Internet.
