8.5 QoS
Quality of Service (QoS) helps to prioritize data as it enters your router. By attaching
special identification marks or headers to incoming packets, QoS determines which
queue the packets enter, based on priority. This is useful when there are certain
types of data you want to give higher priority to, such as voice data packets given
higher priority than Web data packets.
The main goal of QoS is prioritizing incoming data, preventing data loss due to
factors such as jitter, delay and dropping. Another important aspect of QoS is
ensuring that prioritizing one data flow doesn’t interfere with other data flows.
QoS can be toggled Activated and Deactivated. QoS must be activated before
you can edit the following options. When you are done making changes, click on
Add to save your changes.
