6.8 QoS QoS(Quality of Service) is one of the useful services to attribute different priority to different applications, users or packets, and guarantee a certain service level. For example, if there is a traffic overload, you can adjust the priority for each packet and be sure of the enhanced service to a certain data flow; Packets will be processed according to their priority. So, you can provide differentiated services and manage the bandwidth effectively.

With this management console, you can: - Set Scheduling (see 6.8.1) - See queue traffic (see 6.8.2)


41

6.8.1 Scheduling

QoS Scheduling defines the way how to process each queue.

Scheduling panel displays the existing QoS Scheduling in the table and allows you to set scheduling for each queue.

Please open Scheduling panel by selecting “QoS → Scheduling” menu in the navigation pane.

You can use two modes for QoS Scheduling: - Strict Priority Queuing

In this mode, high-priority packets will be transmitted before low-priority packets. If high-priority packets are inputted while processing low-priority packets, the process for low-priority packets will stop in order to process these high-priority packets.

- DWRR(Deficit Weighted Round Robin) In this mode, variable size of packets can be processed regardless of their mean size. You can differentiate the service by determining each packet length to be processed at one time; Weight is used to indicate packet length. So, it will process the determined size of high-priority packets, and then do the determined size of packets coming next. If the length of packets exceeds the maximum size that can be processed, these are held back until the next visit of QoS scheduler.
