EMG2926-Q10A User’s Guide

The EMG2926-Q10A supports

 the new StreamBoost technology, introduced by Qualcomm, 

to

 

redistribute

s

 traffic over the EMG2926-Q10A for the best possible performance in a home network. 

At the time of writing, the StreamBoost feature is disabled on the EMG2926-Q10A.

 

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 EMG2926-Q10A 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.
