LLQ (Low Latency Queuing)

Low Latency Queuing (LLQ) is a network traffic management method that prioritizes time-sensitive data, such as voice or video calls, over less urgent traffic. It works by creating a dedicated lane (queue) for high-priority packets, ensuring they are transmitted quickly and without delay. This prevents important data from being delayed behind large file transfers or other bulk data, maintaining smooth and real-time communication. LLQ helps ensure that critical applications run seamlessly by managing how different types of data are scheduled and sent through a network.
