Windows XP reserves 20% of the bandwidth

Myth

Microsoft Windows XP reserve 20% of your bandwidth for its own purposes.

Reality

False,though there are many technical reports supporting the fact that XP is stealing bandwidth.

Explanation

Windows XP makes an optimized use of the bandwidth, 100% of the bandwidth is available almost all the time for shared application, unless an application specifically request priority bandwidth through the Qos APi’ s. By default 20% of the bandwidth is allocated for these special requests, but under normal circumstances this reserved bandwidth can be freely used by any shared application or data flow.

i saw that QoS discussion long long time ago somewhere on other forums, and i believe it is not what is seems to be. In a very long and boring technical way, it doesnt quite work, i believe it only works for certain types of application.

anyways, you can try it for your self to find out.

*edit, fariz has beat me to it. lol, explanation here >*

I understood why it doesnt work. let say the system reserve 20%. and the 80% we not always full load. unless u turn on p2p client. the p2p client use all of it 80% bandwidth with 80kB/s. cant reach 100 kB/s. after we modify the reserve bandwidth value to 0%. so we can get to 100 kB/s. This tweak might help heavy internet bandwidth user.

1:
Reserve 20%
P2P - 80 kB/s Unlimit dl speed
IE 7 - Slow

2:
Reserve 0%
P2P - 80 kB/s max dl speed set to 80 kB/s
IE 7 - Faster than 1: & 3:

3:
Reserve 0%
P2P - 100 kB/s Unlimit dl speed
IE 7 - Slow

This is a myth.

Windows does not reserve any portion of bandwidth for any reason. However, a QOS aware application may reserve priority bandwidth. Even if this occurs there will be no bandwidth reduction unless the application is actively using it. Any unused priority bandwidth will be available to other applications.

Correction of some incorrect claims about Windows XP QoS support

There have been claims in various published technical articles and newsgroup postings that Windows XP always reserves 20 percent of the available bandwidth for QoS. These claims are incorrect. The information in the "Clarification about QoS in end computers that are Running Windows XP" section correctly describes the behavior of Windows XP systems.
