Quality of Service

QoS is the description or measurement of the overall performance of a service, such as a telephony or computer network or a cloud computing service, particularly the performance seen by the users of the network.

To quantitatively measure quality of service, several related aspects of the network service are often considered, such as packet loss, bit rate, throughput, transmission delay, availability, jitter, etc.

When deploying an EFM or MBE service, it is highly recommended that QoS is set up to allow priority for Voice traffic through the connection. An 80/20 (20%) ratio should allow plenty of bandwidth for the Data traffic to not interfere with the IP Voice Calls.

Select Quality of Service from the left hand menu and enter the EWAN Line Speed
