quality of service
How well served
Quality of service refers to the overall performance level of a service, especially in telecommunications and networking.
It measures factors like speed, reliability, and availability: The contract guarantees a minimum quality of service.
In technical contexts, QoS refers specifically to systems that prioritize certain types of network traffic over others to ensure smooth performance for time-sensitive applications like video calls or streaming.
