You would do this for security or regulatory reasons. Virtual LANs reduce the amount of hardware you need for partitioning a physical LAN computer network. You might use simple dynamic configurations by toggling buttons in a GUI, or with an Access Control List (ACL) to fine-tune QoS. SMB routers have configurable QoS settings built in them, and you’re able to differentiate network traffic by protocol-SMTP (mail), RTC (video calls), DNLA (streaming video), FTP (files) and others. Usually this means prioritizing VoIP telephones over streaming video or you might prioritize traffic to workstations, or for devices used to conduct videoconferencing, or wireless surveillance systems. Quality of Service (QoS) traffic prioritizationĪ business router needs to differentiate and prioritize bandwidth across endpoints on a network. What exactly sets business routers apart from home routers? We’ll look at how their features and functions help a business operate in the context of a small office network setup.
Nearly all networking manufacturers put to market equipment they say is appropriate for small business networks. Here we’ll discuss the differences between home networking equipment and business-class routers, switches, and access points.
