XP reserving 20% of bandwith ?

[sean2002]

I was drunk last night but I remember reading somewhere that Win XP reserves 20% of you bandwith for some QOS or something like that. Is this true ? if so how can I regain my bandwith ? TIA

See this thread:

XP reserving 20% of bandwidth


I don't think it is anything to wory about though. Nobody has seen any performance increase from doing this. I think it just allows XP to take that much bandwidth if it needs it, but I don't think it is preventing you from using it the rest of the time.
