QoS (Quality of Service)
Quality of Service (QoS) ensures better service to high-priority types of network
traffic, which may involve demanding, real-time applications, such as
videoconferencing.
Note: The residential gateway’s QoS is for upstream traffic regulation only.
Downstream QoS is usually enforced by the service provider’s headend equipment.
