All about QoS
QoS (Quality of Service) is a network mechanism for prioritising data traffic. It ensures that time-critical applications such as BlueTV or Voip are prioritised - especially in the event of bandwidth bottlenecks. This is done by classifying and labelling data packets, which are then treated differently in the network. By implementing QoS technologies, Swisscom aims to provide an improved user experience and optimise its networks for current and future requirements.
The QoS configuration for Blue TV and VoIP is a fixed component of the Centro Business router and cannot be changed or customised by the user. QoS functionality for the local network (LAN) is not offered on the Centro Business.
FAQ - MTU
Why is QoS important?
Swisscom ensures that time-critical services such as BlueTV and VoIP are prioritised for transmission through the targeted use of Quality of Service (QoS),for stable, uninterrupted use even with high network loads.
Does QoS slow down the network?
QoS should not slow down the network, but optimise it. While it prioritises certain applications, it also helps to make overall network performance more efficient and consistent.
