endpoint machine set to High. With these settings and the Weighted Fair Queue method in use, I expected a 2:1 ratio between the two machines, which is just about what I got (63.3 vs. 32.1 Mbps). Figure 12: QoS Priority Test - Medium and Low, Weighted Fair...

music, phone calls and remote control without losing out?. The Pulsars are fairly large, futuristic-looking over-the-ear headphones. They’re also fairly pricey (up to $175) but for that Plantronics is generous with the accessories. For a start you get a...
