QoS
acronymnetworking
Stands for: Quality of Service
Techniques that prioritize some network traffic over others to meet performance needs.
Quality of Service lets a network favour latency-sensitive traffic, a voice call, a video stream, over bulk transfers, so the important packets are not stuck behind the big ones. It matters most where bandwidth is contended and delay hurts.
