Have you ever noticed how slow your connections seem when you are watching television, talking on the phone and using the Internet at the same time? One carrier often provides these three services, which means data is sent and received for all services at the same rate, causing high latency and inconsistent performance.
PacketExchange, the leading provider of private network services with Internet economics has developed a method to ensure data is transferred based on the priority or class of services required by each network device.
Since television is high quality, especially HDTV, the data requires a high bandwidth with low packet loss. Telephone services also require low packet loss, although they use a much lower bandwidth. Since the Internet is not high quality, it does not necessitate the same level of data transference as television and phones. PacketExchange breaks that one connection usually provided by carriers into three separate prongs to send and receive data for the telephone, television and Internet based on their priority.
