XAV101v2 Powerline AV 200 Adapter User Manual Quality of Service (QoS) On the Advanced Settings tab on the Powerline Utility, click the QoS (Quality of Service) arrow to help you prioritize your Powerline network traffic. By default, all types of traffic on the Powerline network are assigned the same priority. For most applications, this works fine. However, there are situations where performance improves if you assign a higher priority to certain types of traffic, such as multimedia files. Figure 4. Prioritizing by General Application Type If your network traffic is a mix of multimedia and document or database traffic, you might 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, then give priority to multimedia traffic. Conversely, if it is more important for your network to be responsive to database applications, give priority to this type of application over multimedia applications. The Powerline adapter supports the following: • MAC address • IP port • VLAN tags • ToS bits (Type of Service routing) Chapter 2. Using the XAV101v2 Powerline Utility | 21
