Quality of Service (QoS) Marking
Quality of Service (QoS) refers to various methods used to provide more predictable network behavior and performance. Predictability is especially vital to certain types of applications, such as Voice over IP (VoIP) and multimedia content, and to business applications such as order and credit-card processing. No amount of bandwidth can provide sufficient predictability, because no matter how large the amount, it is ultimately used to its capacity at some point in a network. QoS, when configured and implemented correctly, can greatly improve the management of traffic, and guarantee high levels of network service. This chapter shows the SonicOS user interface mapping table where the administrator can make changes in the mapping settings. The rest of the chapter explains in detail some of the techniques used to improve quality of service on networks.
The user interface gives the administrator the possibility of configuring mapping 802.1p to DSCP markings for QoS service across external systems. The table shown below gives the equivalences from one to the other, and a pencil icon for configuration. Select the icon in any row to bring up a dialog with options to select if changes to the mapping table are required. The choices are given in drop-down menus. Click Reset to apply the changes.
