IGMP Snooping

Optimized multicast performance, useful for bandwidth­intensive IP multicast applications such as online media
streaming and time sensitive applications.

Quality of Service

Provide different priorities to different applications or users
to guarantee a certain level of performance for maximum
data efficiency of your network.

VLAN

Separating traffic within a business such as isolating
resources between network administrators, general users,
or between employees and public guest users.
