Quality of Service QoS technologies allow you to
measure bandwidth, detect
changing network conditions (such
as congestion or availability of
bandwidth), and prioritize or
throttle traffic. For example, QoS
technologies can be applied to
prioritize traffic for latency-
sensitive applications (such as
voice or video) and to control the
impact of latency-insensitive traffic
(such as bulk data transfers).
