The priority allocated to a data package on the net can be coded here too. It supports Quality of Service (QoS) and thus increasingly important real time communication for multimedia. QoS also goes with ToS," added Martens.
Look at using areas such as quality of service, priority of service and intelligent routing and you can maximise the throughput of data on your network, you can go for convergent voice and data systems, you can look at streaming video and more.
It is possible to avoid some of these problems by using strict policy management and most current routers come with quality of service (QoS) features that allow businesses to prioritise voice and video packets.
The most successful attempts see the prescriptive routing and priority of packets so the end-to-end circuit, although based on packets, rapidly resembles its circuit-switched predecessor. For non-real time applications such as email and delayed...
The problems of packet loss, delay and jitter are exacerbated when voice traffic intermingles with packets from other applications. Any 'latency' - the delay in delivering the voice stream from the speaker to the listener - degrades the quality of...
The net as it stands is a wonderfully chaotic place, fundamentally incapable of providing any form of real-time service - voice, video, any form of instant messaging or human interaction - with any guaranteed quality of service (QoS).
