Does anyone know if the new VPN features supported in Version 2.1 support Quality of Service over the WAN link

I understand the standalone VSU 5 & SG200 products do support QoS
 
spridge IMHO the QoS features of the WAN link will operate (as they always have) regardless of whether you're using the new VPN capabilities or not. It's a function of the WAN port.

 
I think what Spridge is trying to ask, is which happens first - WAN QoS prioritization or VPN encapsulation.

If the VoIP traffic is encapsulated inside VPN packets, is the WAN interface still able to spot that its voice and prioritize it according?

I would also have to ask whether each voice packet is encapsulated (which would be adding a huge overhead)?

Sadly I don't get to play VPN.
