Description: Quality of Service (QoS) refers to the overall performance of a network, particularly the performance experienced by users of the network. This concept is fundamental in network management as it ensures that network services meet certain quality standards, such as latency, bandwidth, availability, and reliability. QoS is implemented through techniques that prioritize network traffic, ensuring that critical applications, such as real-time video streaming or VoIP calls, receive the appropriate treatment to function without interruptions. In the context of modern network technologies, QoS becomes even more relevant, as it is expected to support a variety of applications with different performance requirements, from massive IoT device connectivity to immersive augmented reality experiences. Effective QoS implementation not only enhances user experience but also optimizes resource usage, allowing for more efficient traffic management and better responsiveness to changing network conditions.
