2.15.2  ASRock XFast LAN

ASRock XFast LAN provides several special features for faster internet access. For 
example, LAN Application Prioritization allows you to configure your application’s pri-
ority ideally or add new programs to the priority list. Traffic Shaping helps you watch 
Youtube HD videos and download files simultaneously without hiccups. And in the 
status window there’s Real-Time Analysis of Your Data so you can easily recognize 
the data streams you are transferring currently.
