Hi Group,
At some point, I'm not sure when, Sophos decided to change the way Mbps values are entered into the QOS setting. It used to be that you put the full kbits number in.
For example, if you wanted to put 20Mbps into the QOS setting on your interface, you wrote it like this- 20480
Today, according to the built in documentation, if I want 20 Mbps, I simply type 20.
However, there seems to be a discrepancy. Whenever the update occurred that changed this, it seems to have improperly changed the value from 20480 to 20.4 instead of 20.
So, either the documentation is wrong and it should be 20.4 or the conversion is wrong at it should really be 20.
The text of the documentation is as follows-
Make the following settings:
Downlink Mbit/sec/Uplink Mbit/sec: Enter the uplink and downlink bandwidth (in Mbit/s) provided by your ISP. For example, for a 5 Mbit/s Internet connection for both uplink and downlink, enter 5. Values between 1 and 10000 are allowed.
I'm leaning towards the documentation being wrong. I say this because once you reach a certain threshhold (namely 42Mbps), it is represented one number higher. ie 42Mbps is really 43008 kbits. Would I type 42 or 43? See the issue?
To take the documentation to its logical conclusion, 5Mbps connection would really be 5.1 (5120 kbits)
