This article was previously published under Q233203 SUMMARY
Traffic control services in Windows 2000 are used to manage traffic flow for QoS-aware and non QoS-aware programs. For programs that are not QoS-aware, traffic that they generate uses the traffic control API (TCI). This traffic is considered best effort and is sent to the TCP/IP stack. Traffic that is generated from a QoS-aware program uses the GQoS (Generic QoS API), with the intent of setting up a bandwidth reservation. When this QoS-aware traffic reaches TCI, TCI carries out the traffic control already implemented in the (RSVP) packet.
