Prioritization: Right of Way for Internet Access
14.5 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 Inter-
net telephony, 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 BitTor-
rent always have to wait behind 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 speed and reaction times (for example, Inter-
net telephony, IPTV, video on demand).
• Network applications in 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.
• If multiple network applications are assigned to this cat-
egory, then they must share the available capacity.
• Whenever Internet telephony is included in this catego-
ry, this application always has the highest priority, even
over other real-time applications.
