Queue Setup screen. 

Figure 82   Advanced > QoS > Queue Setup: Add/Edit 

The following table describes the labels in this screen.  

Use this screen to add, edit or delete QoS classifiers. A classifier groups traffic into 
data flows according to specific criteria such as the source address, destination 
address, source port number, destination port number or incoming interface. For 
example, you can configure a classifier to select traffic from the same protocol 
port (such as Telnet) to form a flow.

Table 63   Advanced > QoS > Queue Setup: Add/Edit

Active

Select to enable or disable this queue.

Name

Enter the descriptive name of this queue.

Priority

Select the priority level (from 1 to 7) of this queue.

The smaller the number, the higher the priority level. Traffic assigned to 
higher priority queues gets through faster while traffic in lower priority 
queues is dropped if the network is congested.

Weight

Select the weight (from 1 to 15) of this queue. 

If two queues have the same priority level, the ZyXEL Device divides the 
bandwidth across the queues according to their weights. Queues with 
larger weights get more bandwidth than queues with smaller weights.

Rate Limit

Specify the maximum transmission rate (in Kbps) allowed for traffic on 
this queue.
