Question

What is the policy for processing packets with different DSCP values when Windows sends packets?

What is the congestion control policy when the network port is congested?

When Windows sends packets,which DSCP has the highest priority?

Answer 1

Hello there,

Network devices like routers and switches often employ queuing algorithms to manage congestion. Common queuing algorithms include FIFO (First-In-First-Out), WFQ (Weighted Fair Queuing), and RED (Random Early Detection).

The DSCP value "EF" is typically assigned to network traffic that requires low latency and minimal packet loss, making it suitable for real-time or critical applications such as voice and video communication. It's often used for traffic that should receive the highest level of service within a network.

Hope this resolves your Query !!

Routers and switches work as you say,and what is about windows10 and windows11?

FIFO (First-In-First-Out), WFQ (Weighted Fair Queuing), and RED (Random Early Detection) wichid is windows choice?
