Differentiated services

Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is a network management approach that prioritizes data traffic on the internet. Imagine a busy highway: some vehicles, like emergency services, need to move quickly, while others can travel at a slower pace. Similarly, DiffServ allows certain types of internet traffic—like video streaming or online gaming—to receive faster processing and delivery, while less urgent data, such as regular emails, is handled more slowly. This system ensures that important or time-sensitive information experiences minimal delays, improving overall user experience on networks.
