Help with PUP setup for a ps3 (1 Viewer)

[kenny59715]

Maybe I should post this on the video game board but I figured you guys could help me out better.

When I check my network settings on my ps3 it says that a PUP setting is available.
What is the PUP used for?
I have heard that this is a setting used to open up a dedicated amount of bandwidth for gaming and when it is enabled that you will have whatever amount of bandwidth dedicated to gaming even if you are sharing your network with other computers at the same time.
Is this true?
Also, how would you go about setting this up and where would you go to find this?
I have a Linksys wireless router with 3 computers running wirelessly and my ps3 plugged into the router.

Do you mean UPnP ?

That's a technology that lets the ps3 automatically detect media servers on your local network. I jumped through a lot of hoops with a Sony technician to try to enable it through the internet, but it really doesn't work that way (because there aren't really any detectable streaming media servers on the net using that technology). Since yours is showing enabled, you must have a computer that is sharing media (itunes or something else, depending on configuration).

The best way to ensure gaming bandwidth is to check your router for the ability to prioritize traffic (QOS settings). If you prioritize the port forwarding that ps3 uses, you can improve performance a bit (note that unless the other computers are using a lot of bandwidth, this really shouldn't be an issue).

Make sure that you forward the 7 or so ports that ps3 uses (or set it up as a DMZ) for maximum performance. I'll post them later here if you need them.

PUP files are used for ps3 updating:

It is the UPnP. Sorry for the incorrect terminology. I am looking to get the top performance out of my existing setup. Anything you could tell me I would appreciate.
