3-1 Quality of Service (QoS)
Quality of service provides an efficient way for computers on the network to share the Internet bandwidth with a promised quality of Internet service. Without QoS, all computers and devices on the network compete with each other to get Internet bandwidth, and some applications which require guaranteed bandwidth (like video streaming and network telephone) are being affected negatively, resulting in the interruption of video / audio transfers. QoS allows you to limit the maximum bandwidth or grant a guaranteed bandwidth for a specific computer or network service port.
