Advanced>IPQoS
IP QoS (Quality of Service) allows you to set priorities for traffic travelling through
your modem. For example, you may want to prioritize your UDP traffic over your
TCP traffic. Typical UDP traffic would be your VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)
traffic. This section describes how to make use of your modem’s IPQoS feature.
The NB1 should have two primary sections for setting up IP QoS services:
1. A QoS setup page to configure the upstream/downstream connection queue
priorities, and
2. A Rules configuration page.
QoS Setup Page
The QoS setup page will have 2 primary fields:
1. Connection name selection,
2. A table to select queue weights for the system transmit queues.
IP QoS traffic shaping is associated with any transmitted traffic from the perspec-
tive of the NB1. Each interface has 3 priority queues associated with transmit data.
The web UI will allow the user to choose any interface connection and select the
priority weights associated with that connection. For Example; the user could have
a connection named WAN1 or a connection named LAN1. If the user selects WAN1
the transmit queues will be associated with that connection, and likewise with LAN1
(Refer to the following diagrams). All interfaces on the LAN are currently bridged
and therefore the only connection name is that name associated with the LAN.
