First Packet
NVIDIA FirstPacket offers a new way to manage the traffic on your
personal computer, allowing you to more effectively manage and
improve the performance of networked games and other applications
that are sensitive to network delay (latency), such as Voice-over-IP
(VoIP).
FirstPacket creates an additional transmit queue in the network
driver so that network applications can share a limited resource.
Based on user preference, FirstPacket can expedite transmission for
user-approved network applications.
For example, when FirstPacket is enabled:
A game that was previously unplayable can be completely usable
VoIP connections will not be dropped due to the network traffic
on a local computer.
