Hi Friends!
Thanks for your overwhelming support in following my blog! It gives me inspiration to continue with the work..
Today, we are going to learn to utilize 100% network bandwidth in our internet connection. So does it ring a bell? Were you now not utilizing 100% of your network's bandwidth?
Well, the answer is NO. Windows reserves 20% of your network bandwidth for QoS (Quality of Service).
Qos includes Windows Update, streaming videos, VOIP... anything that uses QoS packet scheduler.
Before enumerating the steps to do that, let's understand some scenarios:
Step 2: Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->Policies->Microsoft->Windows folder
[I apologize for the bad image quality]
Step 3: Right click on the Windows folder-> New -> Key and create a new folder: Psched
Step 4: Click on the Pshed folder you created int the previous step. The right pane will have a (Default) entry.
Step 5: Right click on the white space anywhere below the (Default) field -> New -> DWORD(32-bit) Value. Name it as NonBestEffortLimit
Step 6: Right click NonBestEffortLimit key that you created in the previous step and Click Modify.
Step 7: Now at the pop up, enter in the Value data text box 0 and click on the Decimal radio button for Base.
And we are done. The value which you have set in the Value data text box in the 7th step is the amount of bandwidth(in percentage unit) you want to reserve for QoS.
To restore it to the initial state:
Simply delete the Pshed folder or you can manually enter the value as 20 in the text box.
Happy Downloading!! ^_^

Before enumerating the steps to do that, let's understand some scenarios:
- All programs share 100% network bandwidth
- The 20% comes into picture only when a program requests for priority (i.e. a QoS program is running)
- Utilizing 100% does not ensure that your network connection will become fast, as the network bandwidth is availed by all the requesting programs( point 1)
So, I suggest, not to mingle with it. But as an user, it's your decision!
Now, let's see how to do this:
Step 1: Open Run. Type regedit. Press OK
Step 2: Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->Policies->Microsoft->Windows folder
Step 3: Right click on the Windows folder-> New -> Key and create a new folder: Psched
Step 4: Click on the Pshed folder you created int the previous step. The right pane will have a (Default) entry.
