5.10 Traffic Shaping

Use the Traffic Shaping sub-menu to configure CradlePoint‟s Traffic Shaping

Technology, which allows control of the amount of traffic sent and received

across the WAN port(s). The Traffic Shaping feature helps improve your network

performance by prioritizing applications.

5.10.1 Traffic Shaping Setup

Enable Traffic Shaping. When this option is enabled, the router restricts the

flow of outbound traffic so as not to exceed the WAN uplink bandwidth.

Automatic Classification. This option is enabled by default so that your router

will automatically determine which programs should have network priority. For

best performance, use the Automatic Classification option to automatically set

the priority for your applications.

Dynamic Fragmentation. This option should be enabled when you have a slow

Internet uplink. It helps to reduce the impact that large low priority network

packets can have on more urgent ones by breaking the large packets into

several smaller packets.

Automatic Uplink Speed. When enabled, this option causes the router to au-

tomatically measure the useful uplink and downlink bandwidth each time the

WAN interface is re-established (after a reboot, for example).

Measured Uplink Speed. This is the uplink speed measured when the WAN

interface was last re-established. The value may be lower than that reported by

your ISP as it does not include all of the network protocol overheads associated

with your ISP‟s network. Typically, this figure will be between 87% and 91% of

the stated uplink speed for xDSL connections and around 5 Kbps lower for cable

network connections.
