Enable this option if you want to allow WISH to prioritize your traffic.
Priority Classifiers
HTTP
Allows the router 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 router to recognize certain audio and video streams generated by a
Windows Media Center PC and to prioritize these above other traffic. Such 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
streams that it doesn't otherwise recognize, based on the behaviour 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/Edit WISH Rule

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.
