Two Perspectives The user perspective Users perceive that their applications are performing properly Voice, video, and data The network manager perspective Need to manage bandwidth allocations to deliver the desired application performance Control delay, jitter, and packet loss

© 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Custom Queuing CQ handles traffic by assigning a specified amount of queue space to each class of packet and then servicing up to 17 queues in a round-robin fashion.

Implementing QoS Step 1: Identify types of traffic and their requirements. Step 2: Divide traffic into classes. Step 3: Define QoS policies for each class.
13
© 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Step 1: Identify Types of Traffic and Their Requirements Network audit: Identify traffic on the network. Business audit: Determine how important each type of traffic is for business. Service levels required: Determine required response time.

15
© 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Step 3: Define QoS Policy A QoS policy is a network-wide definition of the specific levels of QoS that are assigned to different classes of network traffic.

End users experience lack of QoS as poor voice quality, dropped calls or outages. Network traffic differs in its ability to handle delay, jitter and packet loss. Traffic sensitive to these issues requires priority treatment. QoS measures can provide priority to sensitive traffic, while still providing services to more resilient traffic. Implementing QoS involves 3 basic steps: identify the types of traffic on your network, divide the traffic into classes, and define a QoS policy for each traffic class.
