Getting started with QoS setting


QoS operation sets the priority relationships between four queues, selects the scheduling method for thse queues, associates packets of specific priorities to specific queues, and specifies a "weight" for each queue.


Scheduling Method specifies one of the 2 scheduling methods (Strict and Weighted Round Robin) for the queues.

Queue [0:3] specifies four queues. Queue 0 is the lowest priority queue, queue 3 is the highest priority queue. Packets in queue 3 are served more often than packets in queue 0.

Priority indicates packet priority. This value is retrieved from the priority tag field, with values from 0 to 7. 0 indicates the lowest priority, 7 indicates the highest priority. Click on the radio button to send packets of a specific priority to a particular queue.

Weight indicates the weight (number of packets) to be served in the queue before moving to serve next queue. A high priority queue should have a higher weight than a low-priority queue.


Number of Queues specifies number of queue to be used is QoS.
