CHAPTER 16 Quality of Service (QoS) 16.1 Overview Use the QoS screen to set up your ZyXEL Device to use QoS for traffic management. Quality of Service (QoS) refers to both a network's ability to deliver data with minimum delay, and the networking methods used to control bandwidth. QoS allows the ZyXEL Device to group and prioritize application traffic and fine-tune network performance. Without QoS, all traffic data are equally likely to be dropped when the network is congested. This can cause a reduction in network performance and make the network inadequate for time-critical applications such as video-on-demand. The ZyXEL Device assigns each packet a priority and then queues the packet accordingly. Packets assigned with a high priority are processed more quickly than those with low priorities if there is congestion, allowing time-sensitive applications to flow more smoothly. Time-sensitive applications include both those that require a low level of latency (delay) and a low level of jitter (variations in delay) such as Voice over IP (VoIP) or Internet gaming, and those for which jitter alone is a problem such as Internet radio or streaming video. In the following figure, your Internet connection has an upstream transmission speed of 50 Mbps. You configure a classifier to assign the highest priority queue (6) to VoIP traffic from the LAN interface, so that voice traffic would not get delayed when there is network congestion. Traffic from the boss's IP address (192.168.1.23 for example) is mapped to queue 5. Traffic that does not match these two classes are assigned priority queue based on the internal QoS mapping table on the ZyXEL Device. Figure 103 QoS Example VoIP: Queue 6 Boss: Queue 5 IP=192.168.1.23 DSL 50 Mbps 16.1.1 What You Can Do in the QoS Screens • Use the General screen (Section 16.2 on page 210) to enable QoS on the ZyXEL Device, and specify the type of scheduling.

Quality of Service (QoS)

16.1

Overview

Use the

QoS

screen to set up your ZyXEL Device to use QoS for traffic management.

Quality of Service (QoS) refers to both a network’s ability to deliver data with minimum delay, and

the networking methods used to control bandwidth. QoS allows the ZyXEL Device to group and

prioritize application traffic and fine-tune network performance.

Without QoS, all traffic data are equally likely to be dropped when the network is congested. This

can cause a reduction in network performance and make the network inadequate for time-critical

applications such as video-on-demand.

The ZyXEL Device assigns each packet a priority and then queues the packet accordingly. Packets

assigned with a high priority are processed more quickly than those with low priorities if there is

congestion, allowing time-sensitive applications to flow more smoothly. Time-sensitive applications

include both those that require a low level of latency (delay) and a low level of jitter (variations in

delay) such as Voice over IP (VoIP) or Internet gaming, and those for which jitter alone is a problem

such as Internet radio or streaming video.

In the following figure, your Internet connection has an upstream transmission speed of 50 Mbps.

You configure a classifier to assign the highest priority queue (6) to VoIP traffic from the LAN

interface, so that voice traffic would not get delayed when there is network congestion. Traffic from

the boss’s IP address (192.168.1.23 for example) is mapped to queue 5. Traffic that does not

match these two classes are assigned priority queue based on the internal QoS mapping table on

the ZyXEL Device.
