Prioritization: Right of Way for Internet Access
Prioritization is a function you can use to specify that network
applications and network devices be treated with higher or
lower priority when they access the Internet connection. For
example, you may wish to ensure that applications like IPTV
and video on demand are always treated with higher priority
than other applications. You can also specify that file-sharing
applications like eMule and BitTorrent always have to wait be-
hind online games.
Categories for Prioritization
There are three categories for prioritization: “Real-time appli-
cations”, “Prioritized applications” and “Background appli-
cations”.
Network applications and network devices are assigned to
the categories using rules.
Real-time Applications
This category is suitable for applications with high demands
on transmission rates and reaction times (for example, IPTV
or video on demand).
•
Network applications of this category always have priori-
ty over other applications accessing the Internet at the
same time.
•
When the Internet connection is working at full capacity,
the network packets of the applications of this category
will always be sent first. In this case data from network
applications assigned to other categories will be trans-
mitted later.
