Hello folks,

some information from MSDN/Microsoft docs:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/qos/quali...

--- quote ---
Quality Windows Audio/Video Experience (qWAVE) is the next generation Quality
of Service (QOS) platform introduced in Windows Vista.

qWAVE provides new features focused on streaming multimedia and real-time
content over variable bandwidth networks. These features include the following.

Auto-discovery of end-to-end QOS compatibility.
    End-to-end bandwidth estimation of maximum link capacity (bottleneck
bandwidth) and real-time available bandwidth.
    Intelligent packet prioritization.
    Congestion notification.
    Flow shaping.
    Distributed admission control, including caching to improve performance and
minimize latency.
