VPN: Remote Access to the Home Network

• Discard low-priority packets in order to ensure the trans-

mission of higher-priority packets. This algorithm is

used whenever more packets are supposed to be sent to

the Internet than the upstream transmission rate of the

Internet connection allows.

• As long as no packets are being sent from higher-priority

applications, the full transmission rate of the Internet

connection is available for low-priority packets.
