Additional context Before the linux age in M$ Windows you could go into gpedit chose and *exe and set DSCP value for it. So the traffic got lower or higher priority depending on the value.

this way you could not only avoid lag / ping spikes in your network but also when you had parallel downloads (for example steam updates)
