Prioritization: Right of Way for Internet Access
Prioritization Method in the FRITZ!Box
The following techniques are used in the FRITZ!Box to send
data packets according to their prioritization:
•
Change in the order in which packets are sent to the
Internet (upstream direction)
The order of the packets the FRITZ!Box receives from the
Internet (downstream direction) cannot be changed.
•
Discard low-priority packets in order to ensure the trans-
mission of higher-priority packets. This technique is
used whenever more packets are supposed to be sent to
the Internet than the upstream transmission rate of the
Internet connection allows.
•
As long as no packets are being sent from higher-priority
applications, the full transmission rate of the Internet
connection is available for low-priority packets.
