What is QoS? QoS (Quality of Service) is a security mechanism of the network and is a technology used to solve problems such as network delay and congestion. Essential for critical applications and multimedia applications. When the network is overloaded or congested, QoS can ensure that important traffic is not delayed or discarded, while ensuring efficient operation of the network.

What is QoS? QoS (Quality of Service) is a security mechanism of the network and is a technology used to solve problems such as network delay and congestion. Essential for critical applications and multimedia applications. When the network is overloaded or congested, QoS can ensure that important traffic is not delayed or discarded, while ensuring efficient operation of the network. Simply put, it is to improve the network priority of the game program to achieve the purpose of reducing the delay. Below we take the World of Warcraft game as an example to test.
Note: Home Basic and Home Premium Windows 7 are unable to use the group policy function, please pay attention to this.
New Policy
Enter "gpedit.msc" in the search window of the start menu to enter the group policy settings, find the "policy-based QoS" option, right-click and select a new policy, here We named it "WOW", then set the DSCP value to 63 and click Next. Select Apply this QoS policy to "Only applications with this executable name", then enter the full path to the World of Warcraft WOW.EXE program in the field below and click Next. Select the default to finally click Finish, restart the computer, you can see the effect, according to the author's repeated tests, you can reduce the delay of about 80ms.
Setting the path
Tips: What is DSCP? The DSCP value is used in the QOS to specify the priority of the data packet in the QOS scheduling. The larger the value, the higher the priority. Of course, this method is not effective for all computers. Generally speaking, it is suitable for friends who dial-up via ADSL. If it is in the LAN of many users, the effect will not be obvious.
disabled MMCSS service
If the above method does not resolve the problem, we try another way to delete MMCSS service. The full name of the MMCSS service is the Multimedia Class Scheduler. The function of this service is "running in the service host Svchost.exe file, which automatically raises the priority of audio and video playback to prevent other software from overusing the CPU time that the playback software should receive. As a result, the CPU time allocated on the network will naturally be less, which will affect the network speed, so we can try to disable this service to reduce the game delay.
Delete service
First enter "regedit" in the search window to enter the registry, find HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINE/SYSTEM/
CurrentControlSet/Services/AudiOSrv this item, double click to open the right side The DependOnService project, delete the MMCSS, keep the other 2, and then click OK to restart the computer. Then right click on "Computer", find "Multimedia Class Scheduler" in the service item, stop the service first, and then set the startup type to "disable".
