Quality Of Service (Qos) - NETGEAR XAVN2001v1 Manual

Quality of Service (QoS)

From the Advanced Settings tab on the Powerline Utility, click the QoS link to help you prioritize
your Powerline network traffic.
By default, all types of traffic on the Powerline network are assigned the same priority. For most
applications, this works fine. However, there are situations where performance improves if you
assign a higher priority to certain types of traffic, such as multimedia files.

Prioritizing by General Application Type
If your network traffic is a mix of multimedia and document/database traffic you might want to
give priority to a particular traffic type. If it is important that your multimedia playback is smooth,
even while document files are being transferred over the network, then give priority to multimedia
traffic. Conversely, if it is more important for your network to be responsive to database
applications, give priority to this type of application over multimedia applications.
