Sniffer® Portable Professional User's Guide - NetScout

Installing Sniffer Portable Professional
Uninstalling the QoS Packet Scheduler Service
The QoS Packet Scheduler service supports the 802.1P traffic
prioritization system, allowing for the implementation of best-effort
Quality of Service by conforming 802.1P equipment. This service is
automatically bound to each installed card driver in Windows XP. To
improve analyzer performance, NetScout recommends that the QoS
Packet Scheduler service be unbound from any cards used with Sniffer
Portable Professional.
IMPORTANT: Uninstalling the QoS Packet Scheduler service removes it
from all installed cards. Unbinding from individual cards allows you to
preserve the service for use with any non-Sniffer cards. See Unbinding
the QoS Packet Scheduler Service from Selected Cards on page 38.
You can either uninstall the QoS Packet Scheduler Service entirely or,
alternatively, unbind it from cards used with Sniffer Portable
Professional:
