FortiView provides information on traffic in and out of LAN/DMZ and traffic from the WAN interface. This gives you a good overview of the bandwidth used by device or by application, the category of the traffic, and the risk associated with the traffic. Plus, you can also look under Log and Report for real-time traffic, which policy is being used, application control and web filter triggered events.

Specifications:

In essence, you can assign a high priority to VoIP traffic and a minimum amount of bandwidth to ensure you clients can hear you clearly and easily. Because your WAN interface is currently only 100Mb/s you will never get more internet speed than that.
