Description: Overhead processing refers to the computational resources required to manage and control a network service. This concept is crucial in the realm of Quality of Service (QoS), where the aim is to ensure that network resources are used efficiently and that an adequate level of performance is maintained. Overhead can include the use of CPU, memory, bandwidth, and other resources that are essential for the operation of online applications and services. As the demand for digital services grows, managing this overhead becomes increasingly important, as inefficient handling can lead to latency, service outages, and a poor user experience. In the context of computing systems, overhead processing can manifest in how tasks are handled, performance optimization, and resource management, which directly impacts system responsiveness and scalability. Therefore, understanding and managing overhead processing is fundamental to maintaining service quality and ensuring that applications run smoothly and efficiently.
