# Quality of Service Game smoother and work faster with dynamic DPI powered QoS built for real time digital life. [Get in touch](https://www.lionic.com/contact) ### OVERVIEW ## DPI-Driven QoS That Understands What Matters Lionic’s QoS engine delivers smart traffic prioritization by understanding what the traffic is and who is using it. Powered by deep packet inspection and device awareness, it replaces complex rules with simple category based control that adapts to real world usage. ### BENEFITS AND FEATURES ## Turn traffic awareness into user satisfaction with precision-level control ### Category Based Prioritization Easily assign priority by traffic category like gaming, work, or streaming. No need for complex rule setups. ### DPI Driven Accuracy Lionic identifies traffic by application and device, even when encrypted. This ensures precise and reliable control. ### Adaptive Bandwidth Allocation High priority traffic flows first, but low priority can still use bandwidth when available. No resource goes unused. ### Game and Work Modes Dedicated modes ensure smooth gameplay or clear video calls during peak times. Ideal for latency sensitive use. ### Customizable Categories Define and adjust categories to fit different regions or user types. Add or reclassify apps with ease. ### Integration Ready Architecture Supports TC queues, hardware QoS, and even DSCP tagging. Built for easy integration or advanced customization. ### FAQ ## Category based QoS made simple with no need for complex rules or configurations ### How is Lionic’s QoS different from traditional device-based QoS? Traditional QoS systems often assign priority based only on device IP or MAC address. Lionic’s DPI based approach identifies the actual application category, such as video streaming or gaming, regardless of which device is sending the traffic. This allows each type of traffic to be handled based on its behavior, even if multiple apps are used on the same device. ### Do I need to create complex rules or configure individual app ports? No. Lionic QoS uses a simple category based interface. Just drag and assign categories like Work, Gaming, or Streaming to the priority level you want. There is no need to deal with ports, manual rules, or guesswork. ### What happens when the network isn’t congested? Does QoS still limit traffic? Not at all. Lionic QoS is designed to be dynamic. Lower priority traffic can use the full bandwidth when the network is clear, and only steps aside when higher priority traffic appears. ### How does Lionic QoS handle encrypted traffic like HTTPS, QUIC, or DoH? Thanks to our DPI engine and protocol parsers, Lionic can accurately identify application types even in encrypted traffic streams. This ensures consistent category-based prioritization, even when traditional QoS systems fail to recognize traffic obscured by encryption. ### Can Lionic QoS work with my existing traffic control or hardware QoS system? Yes. Lionic QoS is built for integration. It can tag traffic using conntrack marks, allowing seamless interaction with existing Linux TC queue structures or hardware-based QoS mechanisms. Advanced deployments can even modify DSCP values for more precise prioritization at the packet level. ### USE CASES ## Use Cases for Quality of Service ![Optimize business traffic during working hours](https://www.lionic.com/licensing/usecases/business-traffic-optimization/banner.webp) #### Optimize business traffic during working hours Businesses can automatically prioritize essential applications like video calls and cloud services during office hours. This keeps communication and productivity tools running smoothly, without requiring manual configurations or advanced IT skills. ![Simplify bandwidth sharing in family homes](https://www.lionic.com/licensing/usecases/family-bandwidth-sharing/banner.webp) #### Simplify bandwidth sharing in family homes Families can easily balance internet use among members by assigning priorities to different activities. Parents can ensure educational or work traffic gets preference, while entertainment traffic is fairly managed without a complex setup or technical knowledge. ![Deliver smoother gaming experiences](https://www.lionic.com/licensing/usecases/gaming-experience-optimization/banner.webp) #### Deliver smoother gaming experiences Router makers can offer gamers better performance by prioritizing game data for low latency and minimal lag. Even with other bandwidth-heavy activities happening, gaming remains responsive and enjoyable. ![Support smart prioritization in mesh Wi-Fi systems](https://www.lionic.com/licensing/usecases/mesh-wifi-smart-prioritization/banner.webp) #### Support smart prioritization in mesh Wi-Fi systems Mesh Wi-Fi manufacturers can integrate Lionic QoS to manage traffic across all devices and nodes dynamically. By prioritizing applications and devices, the system ensures consistent performance and smooth connectivity throughout the home or office. ![Add premium speed control as a service tier](https://www.lionic.com/licensing/usecases/premium-speed-control-service/banner.webp) #### Add premium speed control as a service tier Service providers can offer advanced QoS as a premium feature, letting users easily adjust traffic priorities based on their needs. This flexibility improves customer satisfaction and opens new revenue opportunities by allowing personalized internet experiences for work, gaming, or streaming. ![Improve performance for video streaming services](https://www.lionic.com/licensing/usecases/video-streaming-optimization/banner.webp) #### Improve performance for video streaming services Service providers can prioritize streaming traffic during busy periods to reduce buffering and improve video quality. Lionic QoS balances this with overall network traffic, delivering a better viewing experience without sacrificing bandwidth for other users.
