Appendix A Quality of Service Shaping Classes The bandwidth of a device can be divided to reserve constant portions of bandwidth to predefined traffic types. Such a portion is known as a shaping class. When not used by its predefined traffic type or owner (for example VoIP), the class will be available to all other traffic. However, when needed, the entire class is reserved solely for its owner. Also, the maximum bandwidth that a class uses can be limited, even if the entire bandwidth is available. When a shaping class is defined for a specific traffic type, two shaping classes are created. The second class is the "Default Class", which is responsible for all the packets that do not match the defined shaping class, or any other classes that might be defined on the device. This can be viewed in the "Class Statistics" screen. To define a shaping class: 1. Click Add in the "Tx Traffic Shaping" section of the Edit Device Traffic Shaping screen. The "Add Shaping Class" screen appears. 2. Name the new class and click OK. 3. Click the class name to edit the shaping class. The "Edit Class" screen appears. 157

Appendix A
Quality of Service
Shaping Classes
The bandwidth of a device can be divided to reserve constant portions of band-
width to predefined traffic types. Such a portion is known as a shaping class. When
not used by its predefined traffic type or owner (for example
VoIP
), the class will
be available to all other traffic. However, when needed, the entire class is reserved
solely for its owner. Also, the maximum bandwidth that a class uses can be limited,
even if the entire bandwidth is available.
When a shaping class is defined for a specific traffic type, two shaping classes are
created. The second class is the “Default Class”, which is responsible for all the
packets that do not match the defined shaping class, or any other classes that might
be defined on the device. This can be viewed in the “Class Statistics” screen.
To define a shaping class:
1.
Click
Add
in the “Tx Traffic Shaping” section of the Edit Device Traffic
Shaping screen. The “Add Shaping Class” screen appears.
2.
Name the new class and click
OK
.
3.
Click the class name to edit the shaping class. The “Edit Class” screen appears.
