Who needs Quality of Service (QoS)?

The Quality of Service (QoS) feature is ideal for home and office users who have demand for using real-time applications like VoIP, on-line game, P2P, video streaming, and FTP download/upload while encountering the problem that the net speed has slowed to a crawl.

  Home Users
Low latency is everything for gamers. Most home users feel frustrated when trying to play a real time game over a shared ADSL connection. Unfortunately, most routers have no way of determining the importance of the packet at any given time. All the traffic is treated equally, so a packet containing “urgent” command may be delayed. The QoS feature implemented in Billion’s routers gives you the ability to control the bandwidth. Using IP Throttling, bandwidth limits can be enforced on any system within LAN, or on a particular application. The Prioritization specifies which packet has the priority and should not be delayed, and/or which packet has lower priority and should be moved to the end of upload queues.

  Office Users
In addition, Billion’s routers with QoS are also ideal for small businesses using an office server as a web server. With QoS control, WebPages served to your customers can be given top priority and delivered first, whilst still allowing email and office web browsing – at a speed which won’t impede web serving.
