Overview of the Quality of Service (QOS) technology.
To develop Quality of Service (QOS), you need these headers:
For programming guidance for this technology, see:
Enumerations
| FilterType The FilterType enumeration specifies the type of filter used for an RSVP FILTERSPEC. |
| QOS_FLOWRATE_REASON The QOS_FLOWRATE_REASON enumeration indicates the reason for a change in a flow's bandwidth. |
| QOS_NOTIFY_FLOW The QOS_NOTIFY_FLOW enumeration specifies the circumstances that must be present for the QOSNotifyFlow function to send a notification. |
| QOS_QUERY_FLOW The QOS_QUERY_FLOW enumeration indicates the type of information a QOSQueryFlow function will request. |
