mudmanc4 Posted May 27, 2007 CID Share Posted May 27, 2007 I think this could be a very valuable tweak for those who may have many system services running that need attention, as well as no software firewall to view the BW being used.

ghostmaster Posted May 27, 2007 CID Share Posted May 27, 2007 You cannot edit group policy with XP Home edition. But you can always go to your network properties and uninstall the "QOS packet scheduler" from your network device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn0 Posted May 27, 2007 CID Share Posted May 27, 2007 It looks like it is available on XP Pro; I have XP Home and gpedit.msc doesn't exhist on mine. It looks like it may have been something fun to tinker with, thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roco Posted May 28, 2007 CID Share Posted May 28, 2007 Hmmm, not sure on this, according to Microsoft and others it makes no differance , any one tried it yet , ? Correction of some incorrect claims about Windows XP QoS support There have been claims in various published technical articles and newsgroup postings that Windows XP always reserves 20 percent of the available bandwidth for QoS. These claims are incorrect. The information in the "Clarification about QoS in end computers that are Running Windows XP" section correctly describes the behavior of Windows XP systems. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q316666&ID=KB;EN-US;q316666 http://www.setup32.com/tech-tips/windows-xp/performance-monitoring-and-optimization/learn-the-non-value-of-disabli.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"correct" i should say the claims of microsoft. more likely putting other programs on que and the other broadband users in your neighborhood. but, who cares anyway? Others do some tweaks too.... and as long as downloading is more faster and efficient. Just download things simultaneously and don't be too selfish of the bandwidth... hehehe...

Roco Posted May 28, 2007 CID Share Posted May 28, 2007 made no differance on my puter , just tried it , but if it works for you , no harm in trying it , but this myth has been around for years , it is only on Xp pro , not on home , so by my way of thinking Xp home should be 20-30 % faster on the Internet ? , never seen a post claiming that ? if that was true I guess we would all be on home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roco Posted May 28, 2007 CID Share Posted May 28, 2007 Clarification about the use of QoS in end computers that are running Windows XP As in Windows 2000, programs can take advantage of QoS through the QoS APIs in Windows XP. One hundred percent of the network bandwidth is available to be shared by all programs unless a program specifically requests priority bandwidth. This "reserved" bandwidth is still available to other programs unless the requesting program is sending data. By default, programs can reserve up to an aggregate bandwidth of 20 percent of the underlying link speed on each interface on an end computer. If the program that reserved the bandwidth is not sending sufficient data to use it, the unused part of the reserved bandwidth is available for other data flows on the same host. Unfortunately, disabling QoS RSVP doesn't do much. QoS isn't even used in most home networks; Microsoft enabled it by default on Windows XP Professional to make the deployment of QoS in enterprise environments a bit easier, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudmanc4 Posted August 9, 2007 CID Share Posted August 9, 2007 It's only going to work if you have many programs trying to access the network simultaneously, a complex network, sharing information over the network, from remote locations, and priorities set for different programs.
