Hi Guys,
With all the streaming apps coming online such as youtube, netflix, apple tv, internet radio, what is the easiest way to give all the streaming apps priority to stop them buffering at peak times when the network is busy?

At the moment I just mark the public ip subnet registered to the streaming service provider and give it a priority.
but I find myself adding a lot of subnets to the core router everytime a new service comes along.

Most of that stuff comes over port 80, so you could give http priority. You might be able to find or make some layer 7 rules to identify embedded video in http, but i doubt it.

Butch evans Rules I find, are quite good I have taken his and modifyed them a little bit. what it effectively has done for me is make dns and voip priority1, pop3/smtp/imap and http priority 2, everything else priority 3, p2p last.

dont think you will be able to fine tune it farther than that, dont think the router can tell the difference between regular web traffic and video on a stream.
