Throttling your bandwidth by program
While most routers treat one request for bandwidth the same as any other, your new $600 router is a step above. By setting up QoS (Quality of Service) rules, you can give priority to your interactive traffic (like VoIP, web browsing, or gaming) while throttling traffic that doesn’t require a steady rate of bandwidth to function (like P2P programs).
Doing so will ensure that even if your network gets clogged with lots of file sharing, you’ll still have enough bandwidth left over to make all of your free SkypeOut phone calls. If you’ve got roommates who tend to sponge up a lot of bandwidth, you can even prioritize by IP address. |
