Using the web 

interface

When more than one type of traffic is needed, you must use both a primary 
and one or more secondary profiles. For the Core network and the terminal to 
classify packets received from the external network into the proper profile, you 
need a traffic flow filter.

A list of traffic flow filters consists of one to eight packet filters, each identified 
by a unique packet filter identifier. A packet filter also has an evaluation 
precedence index that is unique within all traffic flow filters associated with 
the profiles that share the same PDP (Packet Data Protocol) address. 
Information of source, destination, type of service etc. is combined in each 
packet filter in the list.

The purpose of the traffic flow filters is to assign different priorities to different 
types of traffic, in order to optimize performance.

Example: When you are browsing the Internet, a Standard data connection is 

normally sufficient. However, to have a video conference you may 
need a Streaming connection in order to obtain a direct connection 
without interruptions. Your traffic flow filters can define these 
priorities, so that your connection automatically switches to 
Streaming e.g. when you have a video conference.
