QOS Control Request for next Firmware
« on: December 04, 2009, 07:25:59 PM »
I have noticed, maybe it's me so I do invite debate or fact finding here, but when one computer on my network is writing a large file to the NAS, any other computer is reading/writing data to the NAS at a snails pace.  Does the NAS use a first come first serve or does it actually have specific control to switch between the two or more requests?

I don't see this happening except for super slow so I was curious if a feature could be added to the next or future firmware release that treats all requests equil or where you can define maybe 3 IP addresses as priority.

Of course this could be a horsepower limitation but I don't think so.

You're looking for the queueing portion of QoS.  Problem is it is not a network limitation as much as the cpu/mem as you mentioned.  So I don't think QoS would help, if anything it would drag down the CPU even more.

Yup, agreed.  I would like the ability to load/unload each application and load only the ones I'd like to use but that would be a heavy chore and I know D-Link won't have the resources to do it.  But it's a nice thought.
