QOS - Priority Queuing

Priority Queuing (PQ) allows the users to configure the router to allow

specific traffic bound for an outgoing interface to be prioritized into

high, medium, normal and low queues. Packets sent to the high priority

queue are serviced first, followed by the packets on the medium queue

and so on. The router can configure outbound traffic to specific queues

based upon protocol, addresses and incoming interfaces.
To enable Priority Queuing you must configure a Priority list which

contains the criteria items for the outbound packets. Each packet will

be compared to item #1 in the Priority List and then progress down

the list of items in order until a match is found. When a match is

found, the comparison search will stop and the packet will be given the

priority configured for that item. Thus more specific priority criteria

should be defined at the beginning of the list.
To define item criteria within a Priority List:
