Active queue management. In routers and switches, active queue management ( AQM) is the policy of dropping packets inside a buffer associated with a network interface controller (NIC) before that buffer becomes full, often with the goal of reducing network congestion or improving end-to-end latency. This task is performed by the network ...
CoDel ( Controlled Delay; pronounced "coddle") is an active queue management (AQM) algorithm in network routing, developed by Van Jacobson and Kathleen Nichols and published as RFC8289. [1] It is designed to overcome bufferbloat in networking hardware, such as routers, by setting limits on the delay network packets experience as they pass ...
Differentiated services or DiffServ is a computer networking architecture that specifies a mechanism for classifying and managing network traffic and providing quality of service (QoS) on modern IP networks. DiffServ can, for example, be used to provide low-latency to critical network traffic such as voice or streaming media while providing ...
Microsoft planned to include games when developing Windows 1.0 in 1983–1984. Pre-release versions of Windows 1.0 initially included another game, Puzzle, but it was scrapped in favor of Reversi, based on the board game of the same name. [1] Reversi was included in Windows versions up to Windows 3.1. Solitaire was developed in 1988 by the ...

Microsoft Message Queuing ( MSMQ) is a message queue implementation developed by Microsoft and deployed in its Windows Server operating systems since Windows NT 4 and Windows 95. Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 also includes this component. In addition to its mainstream server platform support, MSMQ has been incorporated into Microsoft ...
A network scheduler, also called packet scheduler, queueing discipline ( qdisc) or queueing algorithm, is an arbiter on a node in a packet switching communication network. It manages the sequence of network packets in the transmit and receive queues of the protocol stack and network interface controller. There are several network schedulers ...
Message loop in Microsoft Windows. The message loop is an obligatory section of code in every program that uses a graphical user interface under Microsoft Windows. [1] Windows programs that have a GUI are event-driven. Windows maintains an individual message queue for each thread that has created a window.
