Quality of Service
The Quality of Service (QoS) features make it possible to manage bandwidth and prioritize
connections on the firewall. The bandwidth management features make it possible to set a limit,
a guarantee or both for any given type of outbound traffic.
Traffic prioritization is used either independently or in addition to bandwidth management to
ensure quick delivery of time-critical communications, such as streaming audio or video.
StoneGate has its own internal traffic prioritization scheme, but StoneGate can also read and
write DiffServ Code Point (DSCP) markers (type of service (ToS) fields)
