What is Type-of-Service (ToS)? ToS is an IP QoS (quality-of-service) mechanism, which uses certain bits in the IP header to indicate to are treated in the same way. The DGFV338 complies with RFC1349, which defines 5 types of service: 1. Normal -Service 2. Minimize-Cost 3. Maximize-Reliability 4. - Netgear DGFV338 | QoS configuration for DGFV338 - Page 3
Setting up ToS on the DGFV338 There are 2 places in the DGFV338 where ToS can be set: 1. When adding a Custom Service: 2. When adding an Outbound Firewall Rule: - Netgear DGFV338 | QoS configuration for DGFV338 - Page 4
options are available, with "Normal-Service" as the default: 1. Normal -Service 2. Minimize-Cost 3. Maximize-Reliability 4. Maximize-Throughput 5. Minimize-Delay So which setting takes precedence? Q. If you create a custom service, and use that custom service when creating an outbound rule, which - Netgear DGFV338 | QoS configuration for DGFV338 - Page 5
