Can you give a few examples of QoS-aware applications? Thanks.
I don't believe there are a few kind of apps but rather as Andy has
indicated already VoIP which is Internet Telephone. QOS was invented so
that the telephone service would never be interrupted.
FWIW one can always Google for terms such as QOS, VoIP or balderdash
even. ;-)
Googling for "qos applications" brought a nice 3.2MB PDF file
with this list:
QoS required Services
VPNs
Video-on-Demand
Voice-over-IP, Video Conferencing
Gaming
Also:
- Video-on-Demand application on DSL requiring dedicated
end-to-end bandwidth to preserve video stream
Thanks.
This stems from a discussion I've been having with the so-called
IT person at my wife's employer, a small non-profit, who is a
buzzword grabber and who has decided that all of the computers at
the soup kitchen should have XP Pro rather than Home. They have
no servers and no Active Directory thingies and don't even use
file- or print-sharing! And she decided that being able to
changes the reserved bandwidth is a compelling reason for XP Pro.
