Fair queuing

Fair queuing is a method used in computer networks to ensure that multiple data streams share bandwidth equally. Imagine a line where each user gets a turn to send data so no one dominates the connection. It works by dividing the available bandwidth into smaller chunks and assigning each user a fair share, scheduling their data packets to prevent any one user from monopolizing the network. This approach improves overall performance, reduces delays, and ensures more equitable access for everyone using the network.
