Advanced_ StreamEngine
The StreamEngine feature helps improve your network performance by prioritizing applications.
WAN Traffic Shaping
Enable Traffic Shaping
When this option is enabled, the router restricts the flow of outbound traffic so as not to exceed
the WAN uplink bandwidth.
Automatic Uplink Speed
When enabled, this option causes the router to automatically measure the useful uplink
bandwidth each time the WAN interface is re-established (after a reboot, for example).
Measured Uplink Speed
This is the uplink speed measured when the WAN interface was last re-established. The value
may be lower than that reported by your ISP as it does not include all of the network protocol
overheads associated with your ISP's network. Typically, this figure will be between 87% and
91% of the stated uplink speed for xDSL connections and around 5 kbps lower for cable
network connections.
