Prioritization: Right of Way for Internet Access
Categories for Prioritization
There are three categories for prioritization: "Real-time appli-
cations", "Prioritized applications" and "Background appli-
cations". The categories are explained below.
Network applications and network devices are assigned to
the categories using rules.
Real-time Applications
This category is suitable for applications with high demands
on transmission speed and reaction times (for example, IPTV
or video on demand).
•
•
•
•
Prioritized Applications
This category is suitable for applications that require a fast
reaction time (for example, company access, terminal appli-
cations, games).
•
Network applications of this category always have priori-
ty over other applications accessing the Internet at the
same time.
When the Internet connection is working at full capacity,
the network packets of the applications of this category
will always be sent first. In this case data from network
applications assigned to other categories, like "Priori-
tized applications", will be transmitted later.
If multiple network applications are assigned to this cat-
egory, then they must share the available capacity.
Whenever Internet telephony is included in this catego-
ry, this application always has the highest priority, even
over other real-time applications.
For network applications prioritized in this category,
90% of the FRITZ!Box's upload bandwidth is available,
as long as no application from the "Real-time applica-
tions" category requires bandwidth. The remaining 10%
of the upload bandwidth is available for applications
that are prioritized in lower categories or not prioritized
at all.
