How is bandwidth allocated if I don’t explicitly use some sort of a queue? Let’s say my router has 10 Mbps available to it (provided by my ISP), and 5 computers are connected to it, and all five are downloading files from a source that is capable of serving more than 10 Mbps (i.e. enough to saturate my link). Do each of the five computers get 2 Mbps? Or do I need to do some kind of queue, such as a simple queue, to achieve that behavior?
If you haven’t set up queues, it’s nondeterministic. What you get depends entirely on luck and timing. One user may dominate for a while, then be shut out as another user gets all the luck.

Thanks, I’ll look into PCQs.
