17.7.2 Default Bandwidth Management Classes and Priorities
If you enable bandwidth management but do not configure a rule for critical traffic
like VoIP, the voice traffic may then get delayed due to insufficient bandwidth.
With the automatic traffic classifier feature activated, the NBG-460N automatically
assigns a default bandwidth management class and priority to traffic that does not
match any of the user-defined rules. The traffic is classified based on the traffic
type. Real-time traffic always gets higher priority over other traffic.
The following table shows you the priorities between the three default classes
(AutoClass_H, AutoClass_M and Default Class) and user-defined rules. 6 is
the highest priority.
BitTorrent BitTorrent is a free P2P (peer-to-peer) sharing tool allowing you to
distribute large software and media files. BitTorrent requires you to
search for a file with a searching engine yourself. It distributes files by
corporation and trading, that is, the client downloads the file in small
pieces and share the pieces with other peers to get other half of the file.
Gaming Online gaming services lets you play multiplayer games on the Internet
via broadband technology. As of this writing, your NBG-460N supports
Xbox, Playstation, Battlenet and MSN Game Zone.
