Quality of service for high network traffic events

A computer system for providing quality of service, the computer system comprising:

• one or more computer processors;
• one or more computer readable storage media;
• program instructions stored therein for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the program instructions comprising instructions for:
• identifying a high network traffic event at a node;
• providing a user score to each user account of a plurality of user accounts, wherein the plurality of user accounts corresponds to a plurality of user devices connected to the node;
• and
• responsive to identifying the high network traffic event, providing instructions to a subset of user devices of the plurality of user devices, wherein the instructions comprise instructions for the subset of devices to enter a low traffic mode, and wherein each device of the subset of devices corresponds to a user account with a user score below a threshold.
