NetLinkNetwork Limited

Netlink end point is a free operating system distribution based upon the Linux kernel. It is derived entirely from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) distribution. Netlink end point exists to provide a free enterprise class computing platform and strives to maintain 100% binary compatibility with its upstream source, CentOS. Netlink End point stands for Community Enterprise Operating System for Bandwith Optimization.

Netlink End point is the most popular Bandwith Optimization distribution using almost 40% of ISP and termination.

By default, network routers handle traffic on a first-come, first-served basis. Network routers on high volume traffic links may introduce latency that exceeds permissible thresholds for VoIP. Fixed delays cannot be controlled, as they are caused by the physical distance the packets travel; however, latency can be minimized by marking voice packets as being delay-sensitive with methods such as DiffServ.

A VoIP packet usually has to wait for the current packet to finish transmission, although it is possible to preempt (abort) a less important packet in mid-transmission, although this is not commonly done, especially on high-speed links where transmission times are short even for maximum-sized packets. An alternative to preemption on slower links, such as dialup and DSL, is to reduce the maximum transmission time by reducing the maximum transmission unit. But every packet must contain protocol headers, so this increases relative header overhead on every link traversed, not just the bottleneck (usually Internet access) link.
