A method comprising:
- receiving dynamic usage information pertaining to a network device, wherein the usage information is established by at least one of time of day, day of the week, location of the network device;
- based on the dynamic usage information, determining at least one desired packet type from a network;
- and
- passing, from a packet receiver of the network device to a central processing unit (CPU) of the network device, only the packets determined to be desired, wherein if the user selects a “video” feature, the desired packet type includes video packets but not binary application packets, wherein if the user changes to an “application” feature selection, the desired packet type includes binary application packets but not video packets.
