Setting Up Your System95To configure Rport feature via web user interface:1. Click on Account->Advanced.2. Select the desired account from the pull-down list of Account.3. Select the desired value from the pull-down list of RPort.4. Click Confirm to accept the change.Quality of Service (QoS)Quality of Service (QoS) is the ability to provide different priorities for different packets in thenetwork, allowing the transport of traffic with special requirements. QoS guarantees areimportant for applications that require fixed bit rate and are delay sensitive when the networkcapacity is insufficient. There are four major QoS factors to be considered when configuring amodern QoS implementation: bandwidth, delay, jitter and loss.QoS provides better network service through the following features: Supporting dedicated bandwidth Improving loss characteristics Avoiding and managing network congestion Shaping network traffic Setting traffic priorities across the networkThe Best-Effort service is the default QoS model in IP networks. It provides no guarantees fordata delivering, which means delay, jitter, packet loss and bandwidth allocation areunpredictable. Differentiated Services (DiffServ or DS) is the most widely used QoS model. Itprovides a simple and scalable mechanism for classifying and managing network traffic andproviding QoS on modern IP networks. Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) is used todefine DiffServ classes and stored in the first six bits of the ToS (Type of Service) field. Eachrouter on the network can provide QoS simply based on the DiffServ class. The DSCP valueranges from 0 to 63 with each DSCP specifying a particular per-hop behavior (PHB) applicable toa packet. A PHB refers to the packet scheduling, queuing, policing, or shaping behavior of anode on any given packet.
