Ok, the document that you need is named:
#315896; "Configuring Firewalls, Filters,
NAT, and QoS for the Contivity
Secure IP Services Gateway"
The document for the v 5.0.X spec is from August 2004.

From chapter 6:
"The Contivity Secure IP Services Gateway supports two internal quality of service
(QoS) mechanisms and can also participate in external network signaling to
enhance performance. Forwarding priority allows for prioritized traffic, and Call
admission priority allows you to reserve connection resources for high-priority
users. In addition, external QoS using Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP)
signals the public network to reserve a portion of the network’s bandwidth for a
specific connection.
QoS provides the option of dropping data that exceeds configured traffic
conditioning assured forwarding rates. This allows for guaranteed bandwidth
based on Diffserv code points that guarantees a fixed percentage of total
bandwidth to each of several applications.
Traffic conditioning by DSCP provides a method to limit traffic at ingress to the
Contivity based on Diffserv Code Point (DSCP) value. This ensures that particular
DSCP values obtain the desired amount of egress bandwidth. Traffic that exceeds
the configured rate for a particular DSCP is dropped in ingress to the Contivity
gateway."
So- as you can see you have a variety of mechanisms within the Contivity. Chapter 6 of this document describes the entire section on how to configure the different QOS options.
From the web GUI of the Contivity, you need to hit the "QOS" menu.
Unfortunately, the document is a secured doc from Nortel available through Helmsman express. Have your VAR get it for you if you don't have access.


Happy hunting and happy holidays.
