Basic Perspectives The User Perspective The network capability to provide the desired application performance It’s all about the applications and their users Voice, Video, and Data The Network Manager Perspective Bandwidth, delay, jitter, and packet loss are policy variables to achieve the desired application performance Cost savings through efficient use of physical infrastructure

Why Not Just “Add Bandwidth” For Performance? Adding bandwidth is NOT free! A real example: Hotel chain with 2000 locations in the U.S. Going from 128Kbps to 256Kbps for application performance = $256 extra per site/month = $512K/month for 2000 sites = $6.1M/year in additional cost! QoS provided required network performance for the hotel reservation application, saving the customer recurring OPEX! Bandwidth is not the same everywhere Dependent on location, SLA, and Service Need to prioritize bandwidth utilization on the network There are speed mismatches, leading to congestion (transient or persistent), in every network Insurance policy for business critical applications

All rights reserved.FunctionalityBenefits Auto-determination of Wide-Area Network (WAN) Settings Automatic determination of WAN settings for fragmentation and interleaving, compression, encapsulation, and Frame Relay-ATM interworking. Eliminates the need to understand QoS theory and design practices in common deployment scenarios. Initial Policy Generation Initial Policy Generation provides users an advanced starting point for VoIP deployments. This reduces the time needed to establish an initial feasible QoS policy solution that includes providing QoS to VoIP bearer traffic, signaling traffic, and best-effort data. Traps & Reporting Syslog & SNMP traps provide visibility into the Classes of Service deployed, and notification of abnormal events such as VoIP packet drops. Intelligent Classification of Network Traffic Using Cisco Network Based Application Recognition (NBAR) for deep and stateful packet inspection, this feature can identify VoIP bearer and control traffic. Simplifies QoS configurations by reducing – and in some cases eliminating – the need for Access Control Lists (ACLs). Cisco AutoQoS-VoIP Functionality & Benefits – WAN

Includes the flexibility to tune Cisco AutoQoS settings for unique network requirements. Automated and Secure Automatically detects Cisco IP Phones and enables Cisco AutoQoS settings (Catalyst 2950 & 3550). Prevents malicious activity by disabling QoS settings when a Cisco IP phone is relocated/moved. Optimal VoIP Performance Leverages decades of networking experience, extensive lab performance testing, and input from a broad base of customer AVVID installations to determine the optimal QoS configuration for typical VoIP deployments. Uses all advanced QoS capabilities of the Cisco Catalyst switches. End-to-End Interoperability Designed to work in harmony with the Cisco AutoQoS settings on all other Cisco switches and routers, ensuring consistent end-to-end QoS.
