In this section, we will describe two real applications that can
leverage the QoS enhancements offered by OverQoS. The first
application shows how RealServer, a streaming media application
can improve the signal quality of multimedia streams by using OverQoS
to preferentially recover important packets at the expense of less
important ones without using any additional network
bandwidth. The second application is Counterstrike, a popular
online multi-player game with a user base of over million
players [1]. For this application, we show how OverQoS can
smooth out losses and enable players to play the game under high-loss
environments.
