"This is a networking term which may be used in one of two ways. In the first way, it represents a quality of networking. In the second, referred to usually as "QoS", it represents a guarantee or commitment to not only a particular quality of network service but also a particular rate or minimum rate of data delivery, as well as maximum times between packets of data. Used where applications are sensitive to delays, such as video conferencing. Initially a feature of ATM, it is now being incorporated into the TCP/IP protocol and will eventually be available as a service on non-ATM networks. A statement that QoS is is provided is distinct from one which says QoS guarantees are provided. UCInet provides a good quality of service, but not QoS guarantees as part of Basic Network Services."

 

Kan QoS påvirke internett-gaming i en negativ eller positiv retning? F.eks. i forhold til fps, ping-tider osv.
