QoS Enabled Broadband - Is Your ISP Shouting Fact or Fiction?

Tags:
quality of service

Overview In short Quality of Service (QoS) is the ability to guarantee that an IP packet be sent from source to destination within a given time. QoS enables the network to deliver a differentiated service to certain traffic classes. Without QoS IP traffic can be delayed or even lost. Traditionally QoS has not been available within broadband networks and therefore customers have been unable to migrate from leased lines, or MPLS based VPN's both of which can support QoS, to cost-effect broadband for their real-time business-critical data.
