Windows QoS settings

Windows 10 don't allow applications to mark outgoing packets with QoS DSCP values.

In order to overcome this you have 2 options

  • Create a group policy QoS which works only on domain networks
  • Run a powershell command to create a group policy attached to all network connections Domain / Private / Public
The powershell command is (Match on executable name):

New-NetQosPolicy -Name "CiscoJabber" -AppPathNameMatchCondition "CiscoJabber.exe" -DSCPAction 46 

Use the following command to view the QoS policies as the powershell created policies don't show up in Local Computer Policy snap-in.

Get-NetQosPolicy
