Hi,
I have a linksys managed switch that provides QoS support. It supports several different classes of service, and has a mapping between CoS and queue:
CoS 0 = queue 2 CoS 1 = queue 1 CoS 2 = queue 1 CoS 3 = queue 2 CoS 4 = queue 3 CoS 5 = queue 3 CoS 6 = queue 4 CoS 7 = queue 4
My first question is simple -- are lower numbers a "better" class of service, or are higher numbers better? I'm setting up this switch to support my Vonage connection, and I want to give the Vonage voice adapter priority service over my other traffic.
Second Question -- This is all going to the Internet via a cable modem. Do I need to traffic shape the link between the switch and the cable modem? Presumably without traffic shaping, the packets would just get blasted out of the switch and queue up on the cable modem without the QoS doing much good.
Thanks!
