Abstract
The embodiments relate to quality of service (QOS) features for a router, especially a router used in a home network or local area network. In the embodiments, the router is enhanced to be capable of measuring, detecting traffic sessions, and analyzing traffic in real time. The real-time analysis identifies traffic sessions in the data traffic and provides QOS to the traffic sessions. The QOS features are autonomous and do not require user configuration or intervention. In some embodiments, the real-time analysis and QOS features are triggered during periods of congestion.
