IntServ

IntServ (Integrated Services) is a networking approach designed to guarantee specific levels of service for data transmissions across a network. It ensures that critical or time-sensitive data, like voice or video calls, get the priority and bandwidth they need to function smoothly. Think of it as reserving a dedicated lane on a highway for your car, so it won’t be delayed by traffic. This is achieved through signaling and resource reservation protocols, which inform the network resources are needed and should be reserved for that particular data flow.
