QoS Marking

Quality of Service (QoS) refers to a diversity of methods intended to provide predictable network behavior and performance. This sort of predictability is vital to certain types of applications, such as Voice over IP (VoIP), multimedia content, or business-critical applications such as order or credit-card processing. No amount of bandwidth can provide this sort of predictability, because any amount of bandwidth will ultimately be used to its capacity at some point in a network. Only QoS, when configured and implemented correctly, can properly manage traffic and guarantee the desired levels of network service.

This section includes:

• Classification of traffic
• Marking of traffic once the traffic is classified
• Conditioning or managing methods of traffic
• Tags of QoS marking, 802.1p and DSCP QoS
• Mapping of QoS Tags
• Configuring QoS Marking
• Applying QoS Marking
