LAN Optimizer User Guide
1. Using the LAN Optimizer Software
Welcome to use LAN
Optimizer Software. The program is used to control the network bandwidth on
Windows Vista and Windows 7 platforms. Many users use some real-time programs,
such as on-line game and video streaming, but they also download files through
P2P software at the same time. P2P software would affect the network quality
seriously and delay the real-time programs. LAN Optimizer can help to solve
this problem. It provides service that can classify
all programs to two levels (high priority and low priority). The high priority
programs will prior to low priority ones to be transmitted and free for network
congestion.
