How to Prioritize Traffic on the Powerline Network

By default, all types of traffic on the Powerline network are assigned the same priority. For most applications, this setting is adequate. However, there are situations where it is desirable to assign a higher priority to certain types of traffic, such as multimedia files.

How to Prioritize Traffic by General Application Type

If your network traffic is a mix of multimedia and document/database traffic you may want to give priority to a particular traffic type. If it is important that your multimedia playback is smooth, even while document files are being transferred over the network, you may want to give priority to multimedia traffic. Conversely, if it is more important for your network to be responsive to database applications, you may want to give priority to this type of application over multimedia applications.
