Redundant Qnet: Quality of Service (QoS) and multiple paths

Updated: April 19, 2023

Quality of Service (QoS) is an issue that often arises in high-availability networks as well as realtime control systems.

In the Qnet context, QoS really boils down to transmission media selection—in a system with two or more network interfaces, Qnet will choose which one to use according to the policy you specify.

Note: If you have only a single network interface, the QoS policies don't apply at all.
