These multiple layers of security have been implemented to ensure the security of
the Powerline MU system.

2.1.2 Bandwidth Management

Individual modems may be set for downlink and uplink sustained rates. The network
operator can also select one of eight levels of Quality of Service (QoS) for all traffic to
and from that modem or can use three Type of Service (ToS) bits (three higher order
DSCP bits), which are part of the IP header, to determine QoS of individual packets.

In either case, eight indicated priorities map to 4 classes of service, using the scheme
recommended in 802.1D. See QoS screen, Figure 44 Advanced Packet Priority.

If QoS is set manually using the Web page then it will be added as a part of the VLAN
tag, not part of the IP header.

2.1.3 Network Operations

Powerline MU provides IP address configuration, NAT configuration, and DHCP
configuration for manually or automatically obtaining IP addresses.

By default, NAT is enabled in the Modem.
