QoS is also ideal for small businesses using an office server as a web server. With
QoS control, web pages served to your customers can be given top priority and
delivered first so that it will not be impeded by email and office web browsing.
Here is a good example of how QoS can work in an office environment. A CEO is
holding a videoconference with international clients in the meeting room. However,
the streaming video and voice frequently lag. Sales people are talking to
international agencies via VoIP phone, while sending orders via email to vendors for
production. However, some staff are downloading MP3 music files, large-size photos
and watching video streaming online. Consequently, the Internet connection slows
down. This is why business users need QoS to manage data traffic. With QoS, the
network administrator can define and classify important packets; specify a
minimum guaranteed rate for each application, and ensure that important packets
have priority to ensure a good quality of broadband connection for the entire
organization.
