inbound flows, this setting is ignored.

outside address is the source IP address.

Priority Queuing (TOS bit)

Netopia Firmware Version 8.7 offers the ability to prioritize delay-sensitive data over the WAN link on DSL
connections.

Cer tain types of IP packets, such as voice or multimedia packets, are sensitive to latency introduced by the
network. This means that if such packets are not received rapidly, the quality of ser vice degrades. If you expect
to route significant amounts of such traffic you can configure your router to prioritize this type of traffic using the
priority queuing feature.

To configure your router to prioritize delay-sensitive data, navigate to the Advanced Connection Options screen
in the console menu.

The Advanced Connection Options screen appears.
