Prioritization changes the router from sending packets on as they arrived to letting some packets jump ahead of others. This helps latency for high priority traffic.

Managing the bandwidth basically ends up dropping packets or setting a packet's ECN flag when a threshold is reached so certain types of traffic do not hog the connection.
------------------------------------
So if manually setting up QoS you want to assign priority based on what needs to have the lowest latency followed by adding bandwidth limits so the highest priority traffic doesn't take it all. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Please-help-me-to-understand-this-27799313 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 20:08:34 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Please-help-me-to-understand-this-27799032 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Please-help-me-to-understand-this-27799032 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 18:19:50 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Please-help-me-to-understand-this-27798991
0.67 would be normal if your upstream sync is 800kbps. Keep in mind there is always a 15-20% loss due to PPPoE overhead.

Something that has puzzled me the last time I activated QoS with default settings. I will post the settings here as reference shown above

Once QoS is activated the measurement taken with speednet has changed drastically. I am still getting 5Mbps for download bandwidth but upload has dropped to 0.67Mbps. This is not at all transparent to me at first sight since during the test nothing else is using the router.

Could someone shed some light on how this is possible?
