Updated: Feb 21, 2026

Technical Meaning

The error code WSA_QOS_SENDERS with the numeric value 11006 and hexadecimal representation 0x2AFE indicates that at least one path has arrived in the context of Quality of Service (QoS) operations. This error is typically encountered during network programming, specifically when dealing with QoS-related functions.

Error Details

The WSA_QOS_SENDERS error code is a generic indication that a certain condition related to QoS paths has been met or exceeded. It does not specify the exact path or the nature of the arrival; it only confirms that at least one path has arrived, which could be relevant in scenarios where multiple paths are being considered for network traffic.

Usage Context

This error code is most likely encountered when using Windows Sockets API (Winsock) functions that involve Quality of Service settings. It can occur during operations such as setting up QoS policies or managing network flows with specific quality requirements.

Developer Interpretation

When encountering the WSA_QOS_SENDERS error, developers should interpret it as a confirmation that at least one path has been established for the QoS operation in question. This does not necessarily indicate an error but rather a state of completion or a condition being met. Developers should continue to check other return codes and error messages to determine if further actions are required.
