Quality of Service (QoS)

The description or measurement of the overall performance of a service, such as a telephony or computer network or a cloud computing service ꟷ particularly the performance experienced by the users of the network.

To quantitatively measure QoS, several related aspects of the network service are often considered, such as packet loss, bit rate, throughput, transmission delay, availability, jitter, and so on.
