10.4.3 QoS Based on Traffic Type

You can prioritize traffic on your powerline network based on four kinds of traffic types.
These are IGMP, IGMP managed Multicast Stream, Unicast and Multicast/Broadcast.
However, it is recommended that you do not change the default settings.
Unicast and Multicast/Broadcast refer to how IP packets are transmitted. Unicast
transmission is from one sender to one recipient. Broadcast transmission is from one sender to
all devices on a network. Multicast transmission is from one sender to some of the devices on
the network.
IGMP (Internet Group Membership Protocol) is a network protocol which lets devices on a
network join or leave a multicast group. An IGMP managed Multicast Stream refers to
streaming media (such as video or audio) to a group of devices on a network using IGMP to
manage the multicast.
