Section 3 - Configuration
The DIR-857 can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing Web or FTP services via the public IP address can be automatically 
redirected to local servers in the LAN (Local Area Network). 
The DIR-857 firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked with the DIR-857 are invisible 
to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of the LAN computers accessible from the Internet by enabling Virtual Server. Depending on 
the requested service, the DIR-857 redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network. 
The DIR-857 is also capable of port-redirection meaning incoming traffic to a particular port may be redirected to a different port on the server 
computer.
Each virtual service that is created will be listed at the bottom of the screen in the Virtual Servers List. There are pre-defined virtual services already 
in the table. You may use them by enabling them and assigning the server IP to use that particular virtual service.

QoS Engine
The QoS Engine option helps improve your network gaming performance by prioritizing applications. By default the QoS Engine settings are enabled.
This  option  is  disabled  by  default.  Enable  this  option  for 
better performance and experience with online games and 
other interactive applications, such as VoIP.
This  option  is  enabled  by  default  when  the  QoS  Engine 
option  is  enabled.  This  option  will  allow  your  router  to 
automatically determine the uplink speed of your Internet 
connection.
This displays the detected uplink speed.
The speed at which data can be transferred from the router 
to your ISP. This is determined by your ISP. 
This  option  is  enabled  by  default.  This  will  allow  your 
router to automatically determine the network priority of 
running programs.
This option is enabled by default so that your router will 
automatically  determine  which  programs  should  have 
network priority. For best performance, use the Automatic 
Classification  option  to  automatically  set  the  priority  for 
your applications.
This  option  should  be  enabled  when  you  have  a  slow 
Internet uplink. It helps to reduce the impact that large low 
priority network packets can have on more urgent ones.

Section 3 - Configuration
A QoS Engine Rule identifies a specific message flow and assigns a priority to 
that flow. For most applications, automatic classification will be adequate, and 
specific QoS Engine Rules will not be required.
The QoS Engine supports overlaps between rules, where more than one rule 
can match for a specific message flow. If more than one rule is found to match 
the rule with the highest priority will be used.
Create a name for the rule that is meaningful to you. 
The priority of the message flow is entered here -- 1 receives the highest priority 
(most urgent) and 255 receives the lowest priority (least urgent). 
The protocol used by the messages. 
The rule applies to a flow of messages whose LAN-side IP address falls within 
the range set here. 
The rule applies to a flow of messages whose LAN-side port number is within 
the range set here. 
The rule applies to a flow of messages whose WAN-side IP address falls within 
the range set here.
