CHAPTER 19 StreamBoost Management 19.1 Overview The NBG6716 supports the new StreamBoost technology, introduced by Qualcomm, to redistribute traffic over the NBG6716 for the best possible performance in a home network. Streamboost is smart Quality of Service (QoS). Streamboost detects traffic flows and applies traffic shaping polcies automatically. It gives each device and each application the priority and provides the exact amount of bandwidth they need at a given time. This helps free up bandwidth for other applications or connected deivces. 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 the 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 NBG6716 differentiates incoming traffic flows going from the LAN device (A) or wireless device (B) to the Internet. It shapes traffic and gives priority and allocate bandwidth according to traffic types.
