Hi smart people,

If I have several computers on my home network and I have not set any explicit QoS rules on my router, how is bandwidth allocated? For example, if computer 1 is downloading a torrent at max speed and a second computer starts a download, how is the bandwidth allocation between the two determined? Thanks!

    UDP is hardly a transport layer protocol. It basically adds port numbers and checksum to IP. QUIC is usually described as transport layer since it provides flow/congestion control functionality usually ascribed to transport layer.

        Sure, hence I said “hardly” rather than “is not.” None of this excludes QUIC from also being transport layer.
