I might QoS/ToS, ppOE and DMZ my xbox and ps3 to maximize their network performance
would doing QoS and DMZ at the same time be a good idea? Is QoS a good idea at all?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] o0MrCheesy0o I think Quality of Service is useless if you make your console a DMZ, and last time I checked you can only have one of those (you can't make your 360 and PS3 one). Anyway, when I was playing xbox I made it my network's DMZ - NAT problems were fixed, but other than that it didn't "boost" my connection. Playing with people over continents isn't ideal, there'll always be "lag". There's nothing you can do OP, unless...yes, that might just work. OP, invent faster than light data transfer! [/quote] I was under the assumption that the only thing DMZ did was automatically open up the ports your game console requires, fixing your NAT, and QoS prioritised your device in the networking queue, so that if you have multiple devices accessing the internet, your ps3/360 has priority. they are two different things. i've decided against pppoe for now, though. I've also went ahead and lowered my wireless fragmentation/RTS thresholds and beacon intervals as that's supposed to do you a lot of good. [Edited on 10.10.2012 10:14 PM PDT]
