1 Hi,
2 I'm just wondering how one goes about creating higher/lower
3 priority Ethernet traffic on a home network. Is it possible?
4 Difficult?

6 When I'm in my office working on my Gentoo box I have two main
7 things I'm doing across a wireless network:
8
9 1) Watching MythTV. This traffic is going wireless to the router and
10 then wired to the backend server. I'd like this traffic to be high
11 priority.
12
13 2) Browsing the web, using GMail, etc. In general I'd like this
14 traffic to be low priority.
15
16 With a default network setup, when I change web pages to something
17 that sends in a lot of data I get delays in MythTV making it less
18 compelling to watch. Is there something I can do about this?

20 Thanks,
21 Mark
