Every routing vendor supports a number of different QoS algorithms.

Read the What is QoS? FAQ for a decent overview.

For information about specific vendors, you will have to visit each vendors web site. And, unfortunately, many of the smaller vendors do not publish a lot of good technical documentation.

hai.....is there any website for the routers company list that are avilable now in the market.....help me....thanks in advanz.......

I don't know of one web site that lists all the router manufacturers.

Heck, there are so many that you will never run into -- even without considering the software-only routers.

Why would you want to know the supported QoS options on a router you will never see?

hai.....the thing is just i want to know the technical details of the routers.....so that i am interested on the queueing strategy of the routers.....

In that case, don't focus on individual manufacturers and models, read up on the different QoS algorithms:

• Weighted Fair Queueing
• Class Based Weighted Fair Queueing
• Heirarchical Weighted Fair Queueing
• Random Early Detection
• Weighted Random Early Detection
• Traffic Shaping
• Rate Limiting
