Simple question about QoS

Hello, 
I have a simple question about QoS. I have a 2mbit "guaranteed" optic fiber internet connection, so it is symmetric. In QoS I have set:

Total available uplink bandwidth: 2048 kbits/sec
Total available downlink bandwidth: 2048 kbits/sec

In the dashboard I see 1.9mbit as top speed (well, in the report of WAN interface I see 1.99mbit). In your opinion this little difference from 1.99 and 2.0 could make QoS not working properly? I don't know how exactly QoS works, but in my mind if I set a bandwidth that cannot be reached from ASG, perhaps it cannot manage correctly the allocation of bandwidth. In this case, could I have some benefits reducing the maximum bandwidth from 2048 to... (i.e.) 2000kbit/sec? 

Thanks

  • So, I also would guess that setting the Downlink speed to it's true maximum might make a difference.  I look forward to hearing from someone who's not guessing! [;)]

    Cheers - Bob
