Description
Enable WISH
Enables WISH prioritization.
Priority Classifiers
Applies WISH prioritization to different categories of traffic.
HTTP
Allows the access point to recognize HTTP transfers for many common audio
and video streams and prioritize them above other traffic. Such streams are
frequently used by digital media players.
Windows
Media Center
Enables the access point to recognize certain audio and video streams gen-
erated by a Windows Media Center PC and to prioritize these above other
traffic. Such streams are used by systems known as Windows Media Extend-
ers, such as the Xbox 360.
Automatic
When enabled, this option causes the access point to automatically attempt
to prioritize traffic streams that it doesn't otherwise recognize, based on the
behavior that the streams exhibit. This acts to deprioritize streams that exhibit
bulk transfer characteristics, such as file transfers, while leaving interactive
traffic, such as gaming or VoIP, running at a normal priority.
Add Wish Rule
A WISH Rule identifies a specific message flow and assigns a priority to that
flow. For most applications, the priority classifiers ensure the right priorities
and specific WISH Rules are not required.
WISH supports overlaps between rules. If more than one rule matches for a
specific message flow, the rule with the highest priority will be used.
Enable
Specifies whether the entry will be active or inactive.
Name
Create a name for the rule that is meaningful to you.
Priority
Choose one for each rule: Background; Best Effort; Video; and Voice
Protocol
Pick from the list (Any; TCPIP; UDP; Both; ICMP; Other) or specify another
