Qos is a general term, what some Wireless Router do under Qos is a result
whatever the Router’s firmware programmer decided to do and it has No
bearing on the computer’s OS.
As far as Windows goes the Qos is Not really useful feature for End-User
peer-to-peer computer configuration.
I know of one application that works well controlling Windows Bandwidth
usage.
It is Not free, but at a cost of about $20 there is No reason to be sad
either. ;), http://www.netlimiter.com/
