IPSec is a tunnel protocol that offers state-of-the-art en- cryption procedures and can be integrated seamlessly in- to existing IP networks. The AES encryption algorithm is used in the FRITZ!Box VPN solution. AES is the most mod- ern encryption algorithm. Supplementary Software for VPN All of the information required for a VPN is saved in a configuration file.
Integrated bandwidth management ensures high speech quality for telephone calls over the Internet with the FRITZ!Box. The FRITZ!Box offers a prioritization function that can be used to divide network applications and network devices into three different catego- ries. The category assigned determines whether an application or de- vice is treated with more or less priority when it accesses the Internet.
Page 158
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.
Page 159
– For network applications prioritized in this cate- gory, 90% of the FRITZ!Box’s upload bandwidth is available, as long as no application from the “Real-time applications” category requires band- width. The remaining 10% of the upload band- width is available for applications that are prioriti- zed in lower categories or not prioritized at all.

Glossary Glossary ADSL abbreviation for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line ADSL (G.992.1/G992.2) was developed on the basis of DSL technology in order to satisfy the increasing demand for higher throughput rates during uploading and down- loading. It designates a fast kind of data transmission that works with standard copper cables and transports signals in both directions at different speeds (upstream at 640 Kbit/s and downstream at up to 9 Mbit/s).
Page 169
Glossary ADSL2+ offers a doubled frequency range used for down- stream transmission, and thus double the maximum bandwidth achievable for downstream to 24 Mbit/s. ADSL2+ is completely downward compatible, meaning that terminal equipment compliant with ADSL and ADSL2 can also be operated on ADSL2+ lines, although they can- not exploit the advantages of ADSL2+.
