When enabled, this option causes the router to automatically attempt to prioritize traffic streams that it doesn't
otherwise recognize, based on the behaviour that the streams exhibit. This acts to deprioritize streams that
exhibit bulk transfer characteristics, such as file transfers, while leaving interactive traffic, such as gaming or
VoIP, running at a normal priority.
Add/Edit WISH Rule
A WISH Rule identifies a specific message flow and assigns a priority to that flow. For most applications, the
priority classifiers ensure the right priorities and specific WISH Rules are not required.
WISH supports overlaps between rules. If more than one rule matches for a specific message flow, the rule
with the highest priority will be used.
