traffic prioritization
im prioritizing CoD: Bo4 for PS4 in the advanced tab using port 3074 udp is the source port and destination port 3074 for start and end ?
Ok so I don’t have to use the source range 1:65535 ? And would there be any benefit to prioritizing the ps4 ports as well
DumaOS Classified Games prioritizes the console automatically so there should be no need to manually add ports for any game on a console. No you don't have to, it defaults to that range to prevent people making misconfigurations. Yes there would be benefit as long as you don't prioritize downloads.
ok and this is a odd question but what if i prioritize ports 1-65535 TCP/UDP will it automatically prioritize the ports that are open on that ip aka my ps4 ?
- Yes it would but it would also prioritize your downloads on the console which is not advised. The feature is meant for low bandwidth applications and it would cause other devices to lag/buffer.
- I was told that it would be prioritizing every single port, I only ply one game on my ps4 meaning there’s not much downloading going on, I am confused if I use this port range will it be prioritizing traffic on every port or just the ports that are being used by my ps4
