Prioritization: Right of Way for Internet Access
Prioritized Applications
This category is suitable for applications that require a fast re-
action time (for example, company access, terminal applica-
tions, games).

•
Background Applications
This category is suitable for applications that do not require
any high transmission speed and which are not time-critical
(for example, peer-to-peer services or automatic updates).

FRITZ!Box 7490
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.
If multiple network applications are assigned to the "Pri-
oritized applications" category, then they must share
the available capacity.
Network applications assigned to this category are al-
ways treated with the lowest priority when the Internet
connection is working at full capacity. So whenever an
application from a different category or a non-prioritized
application requires the entire bandwidth, all back-
ground applications must wait until bandwidth capacity
becomes available again.
If no other network applications are active, then the
background applications receive the entire bandwidth.
