Windows Media Center Enables the router to recognize
certain audio and video streams generated by a Windows
Media Center PC and prioritize these streams above other
traffic. These streams are used by systems known as
Windows Media Extenders, such as the Xbox 360.
Automatic When enabled, this option causes the router
to automatically attempt to prioritize traffic steams 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 a specific message flow, the rule with the
highest priority is used.
Enable This option is used to enable WISH.
Name Enter a name for the rule.
Priority The priority of the message flow is entered here.
