Buster67 Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Sorry if this in the wrong section .I have heard that microsoft reserve 20% of your bandwidth as default.is there a way that i could get this back ? Thanks Buster67
S.SubZero Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 (edited) More detailed answer:QoS is Quality of Service. It's a special priority Windows Vista (and XP) can give to specific traffic. In order for this to work, the application generating the traffic must support QoS. If it doesn't, it can't request the QoS reservation of bandwidth.Long story short - Unless an application is designed *specifically* to reserve QoS bandwidth AND needs it, there is no "20% reserve". I think the only app that comes with Windows that can do this is Windows Update, and I'm not even sure on that.You're not losing any bandwidth having this enabled. Edited May 28, 2007 by S.SubZero
