    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_of_service

    Quality of service is important for real-time streaming multimedia applications such as voice over IP, multiplayer online games and IPTV, since these often require fixed bit rate and are delay sensitive. Quality of service is especially important in networks where the capacity is a limited resource, for example in cellular data communication.

    A set of parameters are negotiated when a connection is set up in an ATM network. These parameters are used to measure the QoS of a connection and quantify end-to-end network performance at the ATM layer. The network should guarantee the negotiated QoS by meeting certain values of these parameters. Cell Transfer Delay (CTD). The delay ...

  9. Traffic identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_Identifier

    The TID subfield sits in certain MAC frames. The presence of TID, and thus the presence of QoS, is determined by the value set in the MSB of the subtype field (bit b7) of the Frame Control field. A QoS-enabled 802.11 header uses the TID to classify and prioritize processing of incoming or outgoing frames.
