6.8 WiPipe QoS
When WiPipe QoS (Quality of Service/Traffic
Shaping) is enabled, the router will control the
flow of Internet traffic according to the user-
defined rules. In other words, Traffic Shaping
improves performance by allowing the user to
prioritize applications.
Enable WiPipe QoS: Click on this box to open
options for controlling Internet traffic. You can
control Uplink Speed values or define your own
Traffic Shaping rules. When WiPipe QoS is
enabled, the router restricts the flow of
outbound traffic so as not to exceed the WAN
uplink bandwidth.
Uplink Speed: By default, the Uplink Speed
values are set as fast as possible. Adjust the sliding bar to restrict the maximum uplink speed for the Internet source(s)
you are using. You might do this to prioritize available bandwidth for download or to reduce overall bandwidth use in order
to lower costs. It is recommended that you experiment with different values for your particular Internet connection for best
results.
NOTE: Uplink speed is the speed at which data can be transferred to your ISP. You can test your uplink speed with a service such as
speedtest.net.
6.8.1 Add Traffic Shaping Rule
A Traffic Shaping Rule identifies a specific message flow and assigns a priority to that flow. For most applications,
automatic classification will be adequate, and specific Traffic Shaping Rules will not be required.
Traffic Shaping supports overlap between rules, where more than one rule can match for a specific message flow. If more
than one rule matches, the rule with the highest priority will be used.
