Introduction

Quality of Service (QoS) is a method to guarantee a bandwidth relationship between individual applications or protocols. This is very handy when you max out your connection so that you can allow for each application to have some bandwidth and so that no single application can take down the internet connection. This allows, for example, a full speed download via FTP without causing jittering on a VOIP chat. The FTP will slow down slightly as bandwidth is need for the VOIP provided VOIP was given greater priority.

or, maybe it can help prevent virus/worm congesting the internet...?? it happened to my network. an infected pc cause the whole network inaccessible.

If you would like to set hard coded bandwidth limits, this can be done using the tc command
