QoS Action Properties
The fields in QoS rules can be thought of as defining:
• Who or what:
—Source
— Destination
— Service
• When:
—Time
•How:
—Action
The Action fields in the QoS rules determine how bandwidth will be allocated.
Most actions allow for dynamic allocation of bandwidth, based on current
connections. Low Latency Queuing is an exception, and is discussed later in
this chapter.
SIMPLE AND ADVANCED ACTION TYPES
When an Administrator edits the Action field of a QoS rule, either Simple or
Advanced Action Types may be selected. The configuration options for Simple
Action type allow an Administrator to:
• Apply the rule only to encrypted traffic.
• Set a weight for the rule.
• Set a limit for the rule.
• Set a guarantee for the rule.
The Advanced action type selection adds configuration options for setting per-
connection limits and guarantees.
The Advanced action type option is only available for Traditional
mode, not Express mode. If per-connection limits and guarantees
are needed, convert the Policy to Traditional mode, using the
Policy > Convert To option from the main menu.
