Let's look at the example below (Figure 8). Node-2 generates traffic serving different services with a total speed of 1 Gbit/s. Medium-2 allows to transfer this data stream to an intermediate network device, however, the maximum link throughput between the Network device and Node-5 is 500 Mbps. Obviously, the data stream cannot be processed completely and part of this stream must be dropped. The QoS task is to make these drops manageable in order to provide the required metric values for the end services. Of course, it is impossible to provide the required performance for all the services, as the throughput does not match, therefore, the QoS policy implementation involves that the traffic of the the critical services should be processed first.
