QoS settings questions

What if I enable QoS and not add any applications to it?
Is that the same as if the setting were disabled? Please see attached screen shot. Should upstream stay on auto?

From what I know Auto is recommended since it is the router that will allocate the bandwidth needed for a certain application as was already mentioned by hillary681. The only time you need to enter a specific value is when it is specified for that particular application. The router as well detects the maximum upstream bandwidth of your Internet Connection, so keep it at default of which is Auto.

About QOS Settings with WRt120N router~HELP~

I have a question with the QOS settings, after I set the Priority for my 4 devices via MAC address, including 1 xbox, 2 notebooks and 1 PC with usb wireless adapter. Xbox has the high, and the others are medium. Here is the problem, after I activate the QOS settings, the network on the 2 notebooks and PC is slow.Not entirely slow, but when I try to open a web page, it takes longer time.About the XBOX,I am not sure about its reaction. Please help me out.

Well as you have setup a High Priority for your XBOX under QoS, whenever your XBOX is turned On, Your Router will provide a Maximum Bandwidth of your Internet to your XBOX and it will slower down your Other Devices on your Network.
As you have so many devices in your Network, so i would suggest you not to use QoS Serivce... Or else if you want to use it then you can Turn Off your XBOX whenever you are going to use other Devices ( Computers).

Understanding QoS settings

After going through the config on one of our switches I noticed some QoS settings that I have no idea what they mean and was wondering if someone could help me understand what these settings mean. Here is the config I found plus the config on one of the ports:

In order for networking device to classify traffic, there is certain information within a frame or packet to identify the importance of a frame or packet. CoS, IP Precedence, and DSCP are widely used nowadays.
CoS is in layer 2. IP Precedence and DSCP are in IP header.
In a dot1q tag, there are 3 bit used to identify the importance of the frame. As CoS is 3-bit, the range is between 0 to 7. In normal Cisco VOIP implementation, Cisco IP phones mark CoS 5 on RTP frames. Data traffic is put on native VLAN; so that there is no 802.1q tag on data traffic. By default, Cisco switches put any traffic without 802.1q to be CoS 0 and DSCP 0.
Before DSCP is used, the second byte in IP header is called ToS (Type of Service). It was used to classify IP traffic. Like CoS, IP precedence is 3 bits. Thus, the range for IP precedence is 0 to 7. After a while, we find out that 3 bit is not long enough. We expand IP precedence from 3 bites to 6 bits. It is called DSCP. As DSCP is 6 bits, the range is 0 to 63. Normally, Cisco IP phones mark EF (DSCP value 46) on RTP packets.
QoS on campus switching is different than router. In router, we normally mark and police the traffic just before going to ISP. As a result, you determine what traffic is dropped if the traffic going to ISP exceeds the bandwidth of the circuit.
We normally classify traffic on ports connecting to phones and end devices. To simplify configuration, Cisco switches allow you to trust CoS; so that VOIP traffic is classify with CoS 5. Different switches have difference queues. However, all Cisco switches put CoS 5 or DSCP 46 into priority queue. Once traffic is classified on the access switches, we can simply trust DSCP or CoS on the links between switches. We should use trust DSCP on any layer 3 links. Also, make sure that voice VLAN is not used as native VLAN.
The last question is what happens if a users put a data device on the voice VLAN and construst frames with CoS 5. Here comes extended trust. Switches have to receive CDP on the port before trusting the device on the voice VLAN is a VOIP phone. Not sure if I miss anything.

X3500 QoS settings -- do they do anything?

Hi,
I've had an X3500 for a few weeks, and while it's functioned reasonably well I've been generally disappointed at the quality of the firmware (v1.0.0 build 18). One problem I'm having is with the QoS settings:
whenever I change something and click 'save', my wireless connection drops pat
nothing I do on the QoS page seems to have any effect on traffic patterns
I've tried every combination of settings to prioritise traffic for particular applications (including all three QoS types on the 'setup' page), but none of them have any effect. At times of high load, traffic does not seem to be prioritised in any way.
Has anyone managed to get any measurable results out of the QoS settings?

I see what you're saying, but the wireless drop is at the data link layer: all the wireless clients actually disconnect from the network, rather than simply being throttled or being unable to pass traffic. It's as if the access point has re-initialised and dropped all connections. Sadly nothing useful is written to the log when this happens apart from the DHCP requests as the clients reconnect.
I've tried high- and low-throughput devices, wired and wireless, WMM on and off, and all three QoS types, but I'm unable to detect any effect at times of high load.

Is it possible to manage QOS settings on BT Home H...

Hi,
is it possible to manage QOS settings on BT Home Hub?

so I understand that there's no chance to put my dirty hands on these settings with my BT home hub 2.0
is there's a chance to get complete list of default QOS settings for BT Hub & exchange?

WRT600N QoS settings do not affect upstream rates

I have recently purchased a WRT600N router as I have a hard wired wired VoIP phone (Aastra 9112i). I have set the QoS priority for the physical Ethernet port that the phone connects to as high and all of the other ports as normal (I have even tried setting all of the other ports to low).
The problem I have is that the QoS settings do not affect the upstream rate. I have Shaw Highspeed Extreme service and have run speed tests to Speedtest.net throught the router and can get 20Meg down and ~1 meg up. When I change the QoS settings on the physical Ethernet port my laptop is connected to, the QoS settings do affect the download rate but the QoS settings do not seem to affect the upstream rate.
Is there any firmware update for the WRT600N where the QoS setting will control/ throttle the upstream rate or is there some other settings I could use on the WRT600N that will provide priority to my VoIP phone.
Thanks,

I just checked the Linksys download page and the firmware version posted there 1.01.35 is the same version I have in my router. Please let me know if there are any development plans for the WRT600N QoS controls so the the QoS setting also police the upstream/ upload rates.
Thanks,

QoS Settings

Team - I'm looking to ensure I get the highest quality on my Skype calls. I have an ASUS RT-AC66U router which is BLAZING fast but want to I get the best quality on my Skype calls. Does anybody have any info about what protocols I need to prioritize or info on how to ensure I maximize the QoS settings on my router to get top speeds for Skype? Thanks, Jason

my 2 cents: 1. I believe Skype packets don't want to be identified, because this can lead to some sort of sabotage by telecoms / admins. 2. People don't know how to do QOS in Skype (because Skype doesn't want they do this), but the community mecanism forces them to always answer (to get more kudos), so they will reply with unhelpful answers like: "QOS is useless", "try to do with DMZ", but this is not what you are looking for. 3. In technology everything is possible, but sometimes only with hard efforts. I don't know how to do this in Skype in a easy way, but maybe you can force Skype to use a specific IP (by using the proxy setting or using Skype in a virtual machine) and configure your router to do QOS with this specific IP.

Defining best Qos settings for SRW248G4

I would like to thank anyone taking the time to help me out in advance.
I currently have ports e22 and e32 set with a Cos of 7 and a que of 4 because they are the ports used by my phone system and my router which are used for the Voip tunnel between our two locations.
Is this the correct settings? Should I do anything else as well?
Thanks... Kevin

Cos classifies traffic of ports into separate classes.
Those classes are assigned to queues with the queue with higher number having higher "priority" then the lower ones.
Thus, it is impossible to tell whether your settings are "correct" or not.
1. It depends very much on the objective of your QoS settings. I guess you want to prioritize VoIP.
2. It depends on all the other QoS settings as well. Prioritization is a relative thing to other traffic. Without knowing the QoS settings of all other ports it is thus impossible to make an accurate statement.

2 project settings questions

Hello again
Still experimenting with PrE8 trial version. This is my first experience with a video editor so learning all from scratch. I have a couple of questions regarding the project setting you need to chose when you create a new project. I understand these settings define the "working" enviroment for the editing process - in other words the resolution and all the other characteristics (format, frame rate, etc) that the project will use
1) I have a camera that´s 1920x1080 30p (progressive) , the GoPro HD. When I look in the new project presets, all 1920 x 1080 presets available seem to be specifically designed for interlaced video. This is indicated by the names of the presets, and by their descriptions as well. There is only 1 progressive preset, of a lower resolution (720p)
Nevertheless, I tried using the HD 1080i preset, loaded some 1920x1080 progressive mp4 files, and apparently it works perfectly well. In fact when I go to edit>project settings>general window, the project attributes indicate progressive video !!!
Is there really any difference (or specific requirement) in a project preset for interlaced vs progressive video? ( I am beginning to suspect that there is really no difference, and that the coding ( i vs p) does not really form part of the project settings, and that the project will take both forms of input media)
any thoughts on this?
2) The GoPro has a non-standard resolution mode, HD with 4:3 aspect ratio : 1280x960 30p
There is no project setting preset that will match this, how can I create one myself ?
The PrE help says this is possible, but I can't find how. ( Edit>project settings will not let me change the resolution)
from the help
If your source footage requires a custom project preset, you can create one. The procedure for creating a preset differs if you’re changing settings for an open project versus establishing settings for a new project. Presets you create can be applied to new projects, and if you want to back up or distribute preset files, you can find them in the Settings subfolder of the Adobe Premiere Elements folder on your hard disk.

Unfortunately you will not be able to use the video from those "sports" camcorders directly in Premiere Elements. It's just not compatible with the program.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415317?tstart=0
As you can see from this FAQ, there are three options for converting the video:
1) Convert it a DV-AVI using MPEG Streamclip. It's a free program, but the DV-AVI it outputs will not be hi-def. It will be standard video, but it will be editable in Premiere Elements.
2) Convert it to a standard def DV-AVI using Quicktime Pro, a $29 download from Apple.com,and edit in Premiere Elements.
3) Use Quicktime Pro to do your editing. The video will remain a high-def MP4.
The best solution, of course, is if the camcorder itself comes with its own editing software. That's software you KNOW will work with the camcorder's footage.
But, short of that, you'll need to use one of the hybrid solutions above. But you will not be able to edit the footage directly in Premiere Elements. Sorry.

Another white balance presets/settings question

(this is related to two other posts regarding white balance presets, but didn't want to hijack those threads with my own specific questions...)
i've got a canon s70, and have been messing around with a friends copy of aperture. the raw files of my camera are recognized (though the aperture camera support page identifies it as not optimized support), but the problem is that the white balance settings in camera are ignored.
when i view a raw file from my camera in aperture, the exif data shows that it is recognizing different white balance settings (various numbers are displayed here, for example, 1 for auto, 3 for tungsten, 6 for manual, etc). however, the temp. and tint settings are the same for all the images, regardless of wb setting (5278K temp, -18 tint).
so, here are my questions:
- is there any setting i'm missing that would let aperture correctly interpet the wb temp for a specific setting? in another thread regarding canon cameras and wb someone stated that aperture reads wb 'as shot', but it seems odd that it would recognize these different wb settings but apply the same temp and tint calculations across the board.
-i noticed that i can create white balance presets and apply them manually. i was wondering if it's possible to apply preset wb settings automatically. for example, is it possible to create an approximate wb setting for 'tungsten' (3), and then have it applied to all images with the '3' setting, either automatically on/immediately after import, or through an applescript or automator action?
while i could use lightroom, atm lightroom is lacking some features that i crucial to my wider image management/workflow needs (though it does correctly interpret my white balance settings). aperture seems like the best bet for me, but i would rather not go through my library of raw files and manually change the wb settings for each image.
thanks in advance for any help.

I don't know about your other white balance issue, but yes, you can apply a white balance to a selection of images.
Create a set of WB presets (one for daylight, cloudy, fluorescent, tungsten etc.). This takes moments and will be available on any future occasion.
Select and apply your WB preset to an image
Fine tune as needed (since in-camera auto white balance or presets often do not nail it)
Select Lift/Stamp tool
Click on your adjusted image
In the Lift/Stamp HUD, deselect all adjustments except the WB
Select all target images
Click "Stamp Selected Images" button in the Lift/Stamp HUD

Sequence settings question

I recently learned that whenever exporting a Quicktime file via the Quicktime Conversion method and selecting the NONE compression setting, that recompression occurs, although the selection indicates NONE (go figure). If I want to export a sequence, what selection should I use. And also, what about the Quicktime Video settings in the Sequence Settings dialogue box? What selection should I use when editing in, say, uncompressed 10bit or 8bit?
I'm a little confused. Maybe there is an article or something out there that explains all the differences in Quicktime that someone knows about.
Thanks, as usual, for all the help.

In a recent post, I was asking about a workflow issue I was having and the question came up. Instead of nesting a sequence, I exported it as a Quicktime movie using the Quicktime Conversion selection rather than the self-contained movie option and re-imported it, and I was concerned about any quality loss I might be introducing by doing it that way. In the "Conversion" dialogue box, you can select the codec, and I was selecting NONE. I was told not to use that setting because it recompressed the footage.
The original sequence I was exporting was uncompressed 8bit, and the original footage was d-beta captured as NTSC 8bit.

PRE9 Project Settings questions

I just got PRE9 and I am working on my first video. The question I have is
about project settings and resolutions, etc. I want to output the video to both DVD and to a file that can be copied to a USB thumb drive and plugged into my l 55in HDTV for playback. it doesn't have to be HD video, but I do want it in 16:9 widescreen atleast.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

The project setting needs to match your video source (i.e. what you are putting *IN* to PRE9). So what is the source of your clip and what settings did your camera use at the time of shooting? How did you get it into PRE9? Ideally can you run one of your video clips through the free GSpot tool and post the screen shot here.
Getting your video output to any output (widescreen or standard) is a feature of the Share tab in PRE9. To output it to two formats (DVD and data file for your USB thumb drive) is two separate Shares that will be found under Share> Disc and Share> Computer (or possibly Share> Mobile Phones and Cameras).
Give us a bit more detail about where and how you want to play that USB thumb drive version.
Cheers,
Neale

Are there apps to limit time usage?
Is there a way to restrict Settings, iMessage, Mail, and AirDrop?

Default Camera Raw settings question

For a long time, I did not understand why do photos in Bridge that were shot in RAW appear satureted for a second and then become dull...as I understand, the first thumbnail isn't made from actual Raw with no settings, but the second one is, so it's not as "pretty".
My question is - is there a way to set the default RAW settings so that images shot in RAW would look like the ones shot in JPG? Because i mostly shoot in RAW+JPG and I'd like the RAW duplicates to look as pretty as JPG ones by default. Is the only option manually setting RAW settings and applying it as a default?
Thanks

The short answer is No.
The longer answer is Nearly, it depends.
The full answer is:
The initial image you see is the integrated thumbnail in the raw file, which is created at capture by the camera using its picture settings. This is not the "correct" version of the image (as there is no right or wrong way to convert raw to jpeg, just different ways). It is the version provided by the camera manufacturer using the chosen picture settings. Some may say it's the correct version, some will disagree. I say that, if you have chosen to shoot raw, you must be disagreeing to an extent.
Adobe's default conversion will not look like the camera's conversion. Adobe has its own idea of how your picture should convert, but it sees it only as a starting point. If you'd rather have a different starting point, closer to the camera's version, you can. Adobe provides Camera profiles designed to approximate the different camera picture settings, like Camera Standard, Camera Neutral, Camera Portrait, etc., and you can use those intead. They are nearer, but not exactly. Find them on the Camera Calibration tab in Camera Raw.
You can make these different settings default by opening a new photo in Camera Raw, changing the camera profile, tweaking any basic exposure settings, and then clicking on the little menu icon on the far right, and select Save New Camera Raw Defaults.
But, again, I suggest that you shouldn't be trying to duplicate the jpeg, otherwise why shoot raw in the first place? Just try to get the default how you think it should look.

QOS: Basic Questions

Hello everyone.
I recently have been reading into QOS and have been fiddling with it on my Linksys WRT54G router. But there are a few things that seem limiting (at least on this version) so I have some questions.
I live in a house with three other roommates all sharing the same internet connection. We don't have a bandwidth limit, so I don't care how much they're downloading. When I want to watch Netflix when they're all on the internet however, either my movies will come up in low quality, or will be interrupted.
Under the Device Priority I put in my MAC address and set my priority to high. My first question is, what is the priority of a device that is not listed at all? There's only room for two devices so I can't put all three of my roommates in. I would assume their priority would automatically be the lowest.
I wanted to set certain common ports to be at a high priority. So far I just have port 53 for DNS entered with the highest priority, while my computer is set to high. Would this mean any computer making a DNS request would have a higher priority than my computer making a non-DNS query? I would like DNS to be a higher priority than myself streaming video.
Finally, are there are ports that streaming video commonly use? I know there are ports for Netflix but I was also thinking of other Flash/HTML5 videos I might come across. Or do they tend to just use port 80?
If there's anything else you think I should know for what I'm doing, I'm open to those too.
Thanks in advance
Solved!
Go to Solution.

QoS (Quality of Service) is used to set up priority and attention to specific devices, services or applications within the network through the router, so that the maximum amount of available throughput and speed can be used.
IMPORTANT: Should you choose to set the QoS to Enabled, you will risk reducing the Internet speed of other computers that are connected to the same network.
Here is the link which can help you in setting up QoS: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=23428&userrole=Links...
Second you can even set the priority for the specific for DNS as well on the router.
