Configuring Priorities for Internet Use
Overview
For network devices or network applications you can define different
priorities for access to the internet connection.
Prioritization Categories
There are three prioritization categories for network applications:
• Real-time applications have the highest priority. This category is in-
tended for applications with high demands on transmission speed
and reaction times (for example, internet telephony, IPTV, video on
demand). If an application of this category uses the internet connec-
tion to full capacity, no other data will be transmitted.
• Prioritized applications have intermediate priority. This category is
intended for applications that require fast reaction times (for exam-
ple, company access, terminal applications, games). These applica-
tions will be granted higher priority. When an application of this cat-
egory uses the full capacity of the internet connection, the data of
other applications will be transferred with lower priority.
• Background applications have the lowest priority. This category is
for applications that run in the background, which are treated with
low priority when the internet connection is running at capacity (for
instance, automatic updates, peer-to-peer services). If no other net-
work applications are active, then the background applications re-
ceive the entire bandwidth.
