Use Dynamic QoS to Optimize Internet
Traffic Management
Dynamic Quality of Service (QoS) helps improve your router's Internet traffic management
capabilities through better application and device identification, bandwidth allocation,
and traffic prioritization techniques. Dynamic QoS resolves traffic congestion when the
Internet bandwidth is limited and different demands compete for bandwidth.
