==The affect of disabling QoS==

Here we are running a backup job, an rsync (over ssh). Just after 7am QoS is disabled for around 30 minutes. The latency (blue) ~~immediatly~~ jumps up to an average of 350ms. It was less than 20ms with QoS enabled.

===QoS on our CQM Monitoring===

With QoS enabled simply based on packet size internet activity is unaffected but a large upload happening at the same time. The example above shows a 40/10 FTTC line with a ~~10Mb~~/s rsync backup upload happening. With QoS disabled there is terrible latency (blue), a small about of packet loss (red at the top) and generally, the internet access is affected quite a lot. With QoS based on packet size enabled, VoIP traffic is unaffected and general internet access such as streaming carries on as normal. The ZyXEL is able to manage the upload as it knows what the speed of the line is and gives priority to small packets which tend to be protocols that require near real-time responses.

==Customer Feedback==

We welcome any customer feedback as to these QoS settings. We're happy for customers to modify their config if they would like, but these settings would get overwritten if a config is ever send from the AAISP side to the router.
