Optimize Internet Streaming With QoS
You can use Quality of Service (QoS) to assign high priority to Internet streaming,
applications, and services.
We recommend that you enable this feature only if you use streaming Internet. When
QoS assigns a high priority to streaming video, it also assigns lower priority to the rest
of your Internet traffic. That means other tasks like downloading content from the Internet
take longer.
