StreamBoost Management
19.1
Overview
The NBG6716 supports the new StreamBoost technology, introduced by Qualcomm, to redistribute
traffic over the NBG6716 for the best possible performance in a home network.
Streamboost is smart Quality of Service (QoS). Streamboost detects traffic flow and applies traffic
shaping policies automatically. It gives each device and each application priority and provides the
exact amount of bandwidth they need at a given time. This helps free up bandwidth for other
applications or connected devices. If there is not enough bandwidth for optimal performance,
Streamboost makes sure the application or device has the minimum acceptable bandwidth which is
determined according to StreamBoost’s cloud-based database.
Real-time application traffic (such as on-line games or communications) and video/audio streaming
are given the highest priority. Downloads or torrent files are classified as best effort and placed
lower than general network traffic (general browsing).
In the figure below, the StreamBoost-enabled NBG6716 differentiates incoming traffic flow going
from the LAN device (
A
) or wireless device (
B
) to the Internet. It shapes traffic and gives priority
and allocates bandwidth according to traffic types.

LABEL
DESCRIPTION
Automatic
Bandwidth
Detection
Select this option to control the maximum or minimum amounts of bandwidth that can
be used by traffic.
Up Limit
Set the total amount of bandwidth that you want to dedicate to uplink (or outgoing)
traffic. This is traffic from LAN/WLAN to WAN.
Down Limit
Set the total amount of bandwidth that you want to dedicate to downlink (or incoming)
traffic. This is traffic from WAN to LAN/WLAN.
Run Bandwidth Test
Click
Test Bandwidth
to determine the maximum bandwidth of your internet
connection.
Enable Automatic
Update
StreamBoost provides a cloud-based service to learn any new type of traffic which is not
in its database and update the table in the NBG6716 for traffic detection and policies.
Select this option to have theNBG6716 automatically receives the StreamBoost table
updates. When there is a new type of traffic which is not in the NBG6716’s table, the
NBG6716 will capture some packets and send them to the StreamBoost cloud for
analysis and database update.

Priorities Screen
The StreamBoost engine on the NBG6716 can identify the types of connected devices (such as PC,
smart phone, tablet, TV or game console) in your network. When there is not enough bandwidth to
support traffic of the same priority, the NBG6716 refers to the connected device priority. Traffic
from the device with the lowest priority is classified as best-effort traffic.
Use this screen to prioritize the connected devices by clicking a device’s arrow button to change its
position in the list. Click
Save
to apply your settings. Otherwise, click
