Integrated Services

Integrated Services (IntServ) is a network approach that ensures high-quality data transmission by reserving specific bandwidth and resources for critical applications like video calls or online gaming. It works by requesting and allocating necessary resources ahead of time, providing consistent performance and reducing delays. This system enhances the reliability of real-time services but can be complex to manage across large networks. Essentially, Integrated Services prioritizes important data flows to deliver smooth, predictable communication, making it suitable for applications where timing and quality are essential.
