Priority Classifiers
HTTP
Allows the router to recognize HTTP transfers for many common audio and video streams and
prioritize them above other traffic. Such streams are frequently used by digital media players.
Windows Media Center
Enables the router to recognize certain audio and video streams generated by a Windows Media
Center PC and to prioritize these above other traffic. Such streams are used by systems known as
Windows Media Extenders, such as the Xbox 360.
Automatic
When enabled, this option causes the router to automatically attempt to prioritize traffic streams that it
doesn't otherwise recognize, based on the behaviour that the streams exhibit. This acts to deprioritize
streams that exhibit bulk transfer characteristics, such as file transfers, while leaving interactive traffic,
such as gaming or VoIP, running at a normal priority.
WISH Rules
A WISH Rule identifies a specific message flow and assigns a priority to that flow. For most applications, the
priority classifiers ensure the right priorities and specific WISH Rules are not required.
WISH supports overlaps between rules. If more than one rule matches for a specific message flow, the rule
with the highest priority will be used.
Name
Create a name for the rule that is meaningful to you.
Priority
The priority of the message flow is entered here. Four priorities are defined:
•
BK: Background (least urgent).
•
BE: Best Effort.
•
VI: Video.
•
VO: Voice (most urgent).
Protocol
The protocol used by the messages.
Host 1 IP Range
The rule applies to a flow of messages for which one computer's IP address falls within the range set
here.
Host 1 Port Range
The rule applies to a flow of messages for which host 1's port number is within the range set here.
Host 2 IP Range
The rule applies to a flow of messages for which the other computer's IP address falls within the
range set here.
Host 2 Port Range
The rule applies to a flow of messages for which host 2's port number is within the range set here.
