D-Link QoS Engine Sample Rule to Speed Up SSH
I own a D-Link DIR-625 Router, which features a QoS Engine powered by StreamEngine Technology. I do a lot of work over SSH, and noticed that after I enabled the QoS Engine feature I got some stutter and hiccups in my SSH terminal program (I use PuTTy) while connected to a server. Apparently the "Automatic Classification" feature of the QoS engine doesn't give high priority for SSH traffic. Thankfully the setup page allows me to put in custom QoS rules. For the name field I entered in ssh, for priority I put in "2" (1 is the highest and 255 is the lowest), and the Destination Port Range I set to 22 to 22 (the port for SSH). I also did the same for web page traffic to higher prioritize it. See the image below- I hope this helps if you need to manually prioritize certain traffic with your QoS enabled router!
