QOS and TS question

[Harry Hudini]

Hi,

We have a new router here which is capable of doing QOS, so i want to set a
minimum traffic amount for the TS users (ie TS traffic ALWAYS gets at least
50% of the bandwidth of the line, and more if its available).

Thing is, i can apply this to the incoming traffic as it all goes to 3389,
but the traffic FROM the server TO the workstation doesnt seem to travel
to/from a fixed port.

Has anyone got any experience of doing this, and would u be able to tell me
how to allow for this or to set TS so that server to workstation traffic
goes to/from a fixed port ?

Olly

THe first paragraph sounded like a foreign language, but i think the latter
part might apply.

What would the source port be ?

Can you apply WOS to port 3389 on the terminal server
directly at the NIC level? Most up to date NIC have a QOS
option, and you might be able to manipulate the QOQ flags
right on the terminal server.

If that doesn't work, does the router have an option for
setting the QOS flags on packets that come from a source
port, rather than a destination port?

Heh..I guess it would be more useful if I stopped spelling
QOS as WOS or QOQ. Sheesh!

My point was that most network interface cards now support
setting the QOS flags right at the NIC, rather than having
the router set the QOS flags for you. You might want to
investigate that.

The source port for terminal services will always be 3389,
so if you can force your router to set the QOS flags on
any packet going to and from port 3389, than you should be
good.
