Categories for Prioritization
•
Change in the order in which packets are sent to the
Internet (upstream direction)
The order of the packets the FRITZ!Box receives from
the Internet (downstream direction) cannot be
changed.
•
Discard low-priority packets in order to ensure the
transmission of higher-priority packets. This algo-
rithm is used whenever more packets are supposed
to be sent to the Internet than the upstream transmis-
sion rate of the Internet connection alllows.
•
As long as no packets are being sent from higher-prior-
ity applications, the full transmission rate of the Inter-
net connection is available for low-priority packets.
Categories for Prioritization
There are three categories for prioritization: "Real-time ap-
plications", "Prioritized applications" and "Background
applications". The categories are explained below.
•
Real-time applications
This category is suitable for applications with high
demands on transmission speed and reaction times
(for example, Internet telephony, IPTV, video on de-
mand).
–
Network applications of this category always have
priority over other applications accessing the In-
ternet at the same time.
–
When the Internet connection is working at full ca-
pacity, 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 "Prioritized applications", will be
transmitted later.
–
If multiple network applications are assigned to
this category, then they must share the available
capacity.
