First-In, First-Out
Basic queueing
A first-in, first-out queue sends packets in arrival order. Download bursts can crowd out latency-sensitive traffic, raising delay and making the network feel sluggish.
LibreQoS
LibreQoS helps customer-focused operators protect busy-hour performance and deliver the kind of experience subscribers stay for.

Use Cases
LibreQoS supports wireless and fiber ISPs alongside dense shared-capacity environments such as event WiFi, hospitality, aviation, and maritime networks.
Wireless ISP
Reduce peak-hour complaints and keep shaping aligned to real AP, site, and backhaul bottlenecks.
Fiber ISP
Give support teams stronger evidence about congestion, upstream trouble, and subscriber-side issues.
Event WiFi
Keep short-lived, high-concurrency networks usable when demand spikes hard and diagnosis time is limited.
Hospitality
Preserve guest experience across many rooms and devices while giving operations clearer site-level evidence.
Aviation
Protect scarce onboard capacity and keep queueing decisions aligned with airline operating constraints.
Maritime
Manage cruise and maritime demand where expensive upstream capacity is shared by many active clients.

Latency And Fairness
Not all packets should wait the same way. Basic first-in, first-out queues let bulk traffic fill the line, while CAKE keeps gaming, video calls, and streaming more responsive when the network is busy.
First-In, First-Out
A first-in, first-out queue sends packets in arrival order. Download bursts can crowd out latency-sensitive traffic, raising delay and making the network feel sluggish.
CAKE In LibreQoS
LibreQoS uses CAKE to keep traffic fairer under load. Interactive traffic gets through faster, so the network stays more responsive during busy hours.
