Netopia Firmware Version 7.6 offers Differentiated Ser vices (Diffser v) enhancements.
These enhancements allow your Gateway to make Quality of Ser vice (QoS) decisions about
what path Internet traffic, such as Voice over IP (VoIP), should travel across your network.
For example, you may want streaming video conferencing to use high quality, but more
restrictive, connections, or, you might want e-mail to use less restrictive, but less reliable,
connections.
•
To enable Differentiated Ser vices, check the
Enable checkbox.
•
Enter a value from 60 to 100 (percent) in the
Low-High Priority Ratio field. The
default is 92.
Differentiated Ser vices uses the low-to-high priority queue ratio to regulate traffic flow.
For example, to provide the least possible latency and highest possible throughput for
high priority traffic, you could set the ratio to 100(%). This would cause the gateway to
for ward low priority data only after the high priority queue is completely empty. In prac-
tice, you should set it to something less than 100%, since the low priority traffic might
have to wait too long to be passed, and consequently be subject to time-outs.
