[gentoo-user] prioritzed Ethernet traffic?

["Mark Knecht" <markknecht@gmail.com>]

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

   When I'm in my office working on my Gentoo box I have two main
things I'm doing across a wireless network:

1) Watching MythTV. This traffic is going wireless to the router and
then wired to the backend server. I'd like this traffic to be high
priority.

2) Browsing the web, using GMail, etc. In general I'd like this
traffic to be low priority.

   With a default network setup, when I change web pages to something
that sends in a lot of data I get delays in MythTV making it less
compelling to watch. Is there something I can do about this?

Thanks,
Mark
