Cirkuit Planet MH-1000 Manuale Utente

Multi-Homing Security Gateway User’s Manual 

MH-1000 is a versatile device that can be configured to not only protect your network from malicious 

attackers, but also ensure optimal usage of available bandwidth with Quality of Service (QoS) and both 

Inbound and Outbound Load Balancing. Alternatively, MH-1000 can also be set to redirect incoming and 

outgoing network traffic with the Fail Over capability, ensuring minimal downtime and increased reliability. 

 

Quality of Service (QoS) gives you full control over which types of outgoing data traffic should be given 

priority by the router. By doing so, the router can ensure that latency-sensitive applications like voice, 

bandwidth-consuming data like gaming packets, or even mission critical files efficiently move through the 

router even under a heavy load. You can throttle the speed at which different types of outgoing data pass 

through the router. In addition, you can simply change the priority of different types of upload data and let 

the router sort out the actual speeds. 

 

QoS generally involves the prioritization of network traffic. QoS is comprised of three major components: 

Classifier, Meter, and Scheduler. Each of these components has a distinct role in ensuring that incoming 

and outgoing data is managed according to user specifications. 

The Classifier analyses incoming packets and marks each one according to configured parameters. The 

Meter communicates the drop priority to the Scheduler and measures the temporal priorities of the output 

stream against configured parameters. Finally, the Scheduler schedules each packet for transmission 

based on information from both the Classifier and the Meter.
