67 D-Link DIR-645 User Manua\f Section 3 - Software Confi\buration Q\fS Engine The QoS En\bine option he\fps improve your network \bamin\b performance by prioritizin\b app\fications. By defau\ft the QoS En\bine settin\bs are disab\fed and app\fication priority is not c\fassified automatica\f\fy. The QoS section contains a queuin\b mechanism, traffic shapin\b and c\fassification. It supports two kinds of queuin\b mechanisms. Strict Priority Queue (SPQ) and Wei\bhted Fair Queue (WFQ). SPQ wi\f\f process traffic based on traffic priority. Queue1 has the hi\bhest priority and Queue4 has the \fowest priority. WFQ wi\f\f process traffic based on the queue wei\bht. Users can confi\bure each queue’s wei\bht. The sum of a\f\f the queue’s wei\bht must be 100. When surfin\b the Internet, the system wi\f\f do traffic shapin\b based on the up\fink and down\fink speed. The c\fassification ru\fes can be used to c\fassify traffic to different queues, then SPQ or WFQ wi\f\f do QoS based on the queue’s priority or wei\bht. Enable Q\fS: This option is disab\fed by defau\ft. Enab\fe this option for better performance and experience with on\fine \bames and other interactive app\fications, such as VoIP. Uplink Speed: The speed at which data can be transferred from the router to your ISP. This is determined by your ISP. ISP’s often define speed as a down\foad/up\foad pair.
