Appendix A Quality of Service Class Rules Class rules define which packets belong to the class. They must be defined in order to associate packets that meet them with the shaping class. Without class rules, the shaping class will have no effect. Each class can have outbound and/or inbound rules for outgoing and incoming traffic, respectively. For example, all outgoing packets from computer A in the network can be defined as belonging to the VoIP class. These packets will be limited to the class settings (bandwidth, schedule, etc.). In addition, the traffic protocol and priority for each rule can be defined (this is not mandatory as it is with Traffic Priority rules). To add a new outbound/inbound class rule, click Add in the Edit Class screen. The "Add Traffic Priority Rule" screen appears. Source Address - The source address of the packets sent to or received from the network object (computer A in the above example). To add an address: 1. Select Specify Address from the drop-down list. The screen will refresh and an "Add" link appears. 2. Click Add, and add a new network object. Note that clicking Add is equivalent to clicking "New Entry" in the "Network Objects" screen. Destination Address - The destination address of the packets sent to or received from the network object. This address can be configured in the same manner as the source address. 159
