        **What is IPv6 QoS Support?**

        IPv6 Quality of Service (QoS) Support refers to features in IPv6 that allow prioritization and management of network traffic to ensure performance for critical applications.

        **Why is IPv6 QoS Support useful?**

        It ensures that latency-sensitive and high-priority traffic like voice, video conferencing, and real-time gaming receive the necessary bandwidth and low delay.

        **How does IPv6 QoS Support work?**

        IPv6 introduces the Flow Label field in the header, which identifies packets belonging to the same flow for consistent handling. The Traffic Class field is also used for priority marking and Differentiated Services (DiffServ).

        **Where is IPv6 QoS Support used?**

        It is critical in environments requiring traffic prioritization such as enterprise networks, ISPs, and multimedia streaming services.

        **Which OSI layer does IPv6 QoS Support belong to?**

        QoS support operates at the **Network Layer (Layer 3)**, influencing how packets are handled and prioritized during routing.

        **Is IPv6 QoS Support Windows specific?**

        No, QoS features in IPv6 are supported by all major operating systems including Windows.

        **Is IPv6 QoS Support Linux specific?**

        No, Linux fully supports IPv6 QoS features with advanced traffic control tools like `tc` and kernel QoS implementations.

        **Which Transport Protocol is used by IPv6 QoS Support?**

        QoS operates independently of transport protocols and benefits all types of traffic including TCP, UDP, and real-time protocols.

        **Is IPv6 QoS Support using client-server model?**

        No, QoS is a network function focused on traffic prioritization and does not depend on client-server communication models.
