In the Series X’s network settings, there’s something called QoS tagging and under that two options: DSCP and WMM. The first one is for a wired connection.
Any advantage to turning this on? E.g. better texture streaming or something of that sort?
My NAT is Open and I’m on a 50mb down 25mb up fibre optic connection.
QOS isn’t honoured on the internet. It might work well with multiple machines on the same LAN, but wont make a difference otherwise.
Oh ok,thanks. I’m the only one using it and use either my pc or Xbox at any given time, never simultaneously.
I’ll turn it off then. I did see a slightly higher download speed after doing a speed test from the network settings. But that could be placebo. I don’t know.
QoS tags are networking tags added to certain types of network traffic to give them priority. The tags a read by networking equipment (if the support it) and make the traffic tagged a lower or higher priority, depending on settings.
When traffic goes to the internet, QoS tags are stripped and / or ignored.
Its a feature thats really only significant on large enterprise networks.
Right…where there are multiple users. Me being the only user here, I’m probably just increasing my console’s networking overhead then in a way…?
