Your organization has Cisco Fastlane enhanced Quality of Service on its MDM-enrolled Mac computers.

Apple works with Cisco through theFastlane for iOS and macOSinitiative, enabling Quality of Service (QoS) for enterprise apps. According to Apple Learning, the prioritization of traffic is configured via theWi-Fi payload, where specific applications or domains can be marked for QoS priority. This ensures critical apps, such as video conferencing tools, maintain performance even in congested wireless environments. Network Usage Rules are used to control when apps can use cellular data, not to prioritize QoS. System Extensions manage kernel-level extensions, and Restrictions govern device functionality but not network traffic. By setting policies in the Wi-Fi payload, IT ensures application traffic is correctly tagged for Cisco network prioritization, delivering a seamless, high-quality user experience.
