What is ToS?
TOS stands for Type-of-Service splitting. It is a way of classifying and prioritizing the traffic on a data connection to give priority to voice traffic. If voice packets are held up by data traffic, latency and jitter issues can arise. Data packets, on the other hand, can handle slight delay far more easily. Bandwidth.com currently utilizes TOS-splitting on outbound VoIP calls over Sprint’s and Qwest’s T-1 lines (Optional).
