Select the options for your QoS default policy. Alternatively, you can define your entire QoS
policy through the Access Policy > QoS Policy page by clearing all of the checkboxes on this
page.

Ensure low latency priority for delay sensitive services (e.g. VoIP) - Select this option
to make sure that traffic that is very sensitive to delay is prioritized. For example, IP
telephony, videoconferencing, and interactive protocols that must have a short response
time, such as Telnet.
Click the delay sensitive services link to see the default services included and add new
ones or remove existing if necessary. QoS tries to send these packets before other
packets. This option adds a rule to the QoS Policy Rule Base.
n
Guarantee X% of the bandwidth to VPN traffic on All services - Select this option to
guarantee a minimum bandwidth for the specified traffic on all services or selected
services.
Enter the bandwidth percentage, change the type of traffic if needed, and if necessary
click the All services link to edit a list of selected guaranteed services. This option adds a
rule to the QoS Policy Rule Base.
n
Limit bandwidth consuming applications - Select this option to configure applications,
for which you want to enforce a limit. Applications that use a lot of bandwidth can
decrease performance necessary for important business applications.
Click the bandwidth consuming applications link to see the default
applications/categories included, add new ones, or remove existing, if necessary.
Select Download and/or Upload to configure the maximum bandwidth in each of the
selected options.
