Why Your Internet Needs Smart Prioritization
Cloud apps and business tools just work better with Bigleaf’s Dynamic QoS . Even when your network is crowded, your most important applications stay smooth and responsive.
Networking is a distinct area within IT, filled with its own jargon. One term you’ve likely heard is Quality of Service (QoS) — technology that manages network traffic so essential applications can perform reliably.
While QoS isn’t a new concept, it’s a hot topic when it comes to SMB infrastructure. So what exactly is Dynamic QoS, and why does it matter for your business?
Let’s break it down.
What Is Dynamic QoS and How Does It Work?
Quality of Service (QoS) tools help prioritize network traffic. That way, your real-time apps like video calls or VoIP keep working, even if bandwidth is tight.
Today, apps compete not only with other kinds of traffic, but with each other. This happens whether you’re working from home or in an office. Real-time applications feel the impact first. Think of choppy video calls and lagging audio.
These disruptions don’t just annoy your teams — they hurt your business. Dropped calls and frozen meetings stall operations and impact revenue. According to Gartner, network downtime can cost upwards of $300K per hour.
QoS helps prevent these issues. It reduces packet loss, latency, and jitter, ensuring traffic like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or RingCentral gets through cleanly.
The Freeway Analogy
Imagine your internet connection is a busy highway. As traffic builds, Dynamic QoS opens a special lane for high-priority apps. No more bottlenecks for your VoIP or video.
Why Traditional QoS Isn’t Enough Today
Traditional QoS relies on manual setup. Network admins must assign priorities and configure rules. It only affects outbound traffic and can’t manage anything past your router.
That makes it limited — especially in today’s work-from-anywhere world.

How Dynamic QoS Solves Common Internet Issues
Bigleaf Dynamic QoS solves this with automation. Instead of static rules, it uses intelligent software to monitor traffic and prioritize in real time.
It works with SD-WAN tools to keep your business-critical applications running smoothly. Whether you’re sharing a network with gamers and streamers or handling corporate traffic, Dynamic QoS knows what matters and protects it.
By reducing latency and jitter automatically, Dynamic QoS improves your network’s efficiency — and your team’s productivity.
Is Dynamic QoS Really Beneficial for Business?
Yes. Without QoS, data gets messy. That leads to slow apps, dropped calls, and lost time.
Dynamic QoS handles all of this for you. It automatically identifies and prioritizes the most important traffic. That means less time spent configuring networks and fewer resources used troubleshooting.
Employees can focus, cloud apps stay smooth, and customers get a better experience. Over 100,000 users trust Bigleaf to deliver reliable connectivity every day.
Why SMBs Trust Bigleaf Dynamic QoS for Reliable Connectivity
“Bigleaf has architected a new kind of networking platform to deliver end-to-end connectivity to and from anywhere your traffic needs to go.”
Bigleaf delivers a unique approach to SD-WAN. We monitor connectivity, route traffic, and prioritize it — all with intelligent software. No manual rules or policies required.
Just plug in and go.
We even deliver QoS over the public internet, which is rare. Our software adapts to circuit conditions and controls traffic in both directions. Video calls stay smooth, and downloads don’t get in the way.
Even with a single internet connection, Bigleaf’s Dynamic QoS offers full prioritization, monitoring, and alerts. We pair this with Same-IP Failover and our patented Intelligent Load Balancingto deliver constant performance.
Dynamic QoS Prioritizes What Matters—Not Just Speed
Here’s a real-world example:
Bigleaf co-founder Joel Mulkey has a 6 Mbps home internet circuit. One day, his child downloaded a large video game, using up bandwidth. At the same time, Joel was on Zoom calls.
Thanks to Bigleaf, the network prioritized the Zoom traffic over the download. The calls stayed clear. The game download slowed a bit, but business went on without interruption.
That’s the power of Dynamic QoS. It automatically deprioritizes non-essential traffic and keeps you productive.
How Bigleaf Dynamic QoS Optimizes Your Business Internet
Whether you’re working from home or managing a multi-site business, your cloud apps need to work. That’s why we built Dynamic QoS into our SD-WAN platform.
Bigleaf’s AI-driven technology keeps your apps performing reliably, no matter your location or provider.
