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 ARMOR Z1 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. ARMOR Z1 User's Guide 115
