End-to-end QoS deployment techniques for Cisco Catalyst series switches Check QoS various components, including congestion management, avoid congestion, shaping, policing / admission control, signaling, link efficiency mechanisms, and classification and markingMap specified class of service (CoS) values to various queues and maintain CoS values through the use of 802.1q tagging on the Catalyst , Cisco Catalyst 2900XL and 3500XL and 4000 CatOS Family 2948G/2980G SwitchesLearn about classification and rewrite capabilities and queue scheduling on the Cisco Catalyst 5000Implement ACLs, ACPs, ACES, and low-latency queuing on the Cisco Catalyst 2950 and 3550 Family classification SwitchesUnderstand, policying, and scheduling capabilities Catalyst 4000 and 4500 Family IOS SwitchesConfigure QoS in both Hybrid and Native mode on the Catalyst 6500 Family SwitchesUtilize Layer 3 QoS to classify varying levels of service with the Catalyst 6500 MSFC and FlexwanUnderstand how to apply QoS in campus network designs by examining end-to-study end case Quality of Service (QoS) is a set of techniques designed to manage network resources. The main goal of QoS is to provide flow priority, including dedicated bandwidth, controlled jitter and latency (required by some interactive traffic and delay-sensitive), and improved loss characteristics. While QoS has become an important technology for organizations launched a new generation of network applications such as real-time voice communication and high-quality video delivery, most of the available literature on this technology platform for business applications today and the future focuses on IP QoS. Through an overview of the architecture, configuration examples, real-world deployment case studies, and summaries of common pitfalls, you will understand how QoS operates, the various components involved in making QoS may be, and how QoS can be implemented in various Cisco Catalyst platforms to enable true completely successful end-to-end QoS applications. This book is part of the Networking Technology Series from Cisco Press, which offers networking professionals valuable information to build efficient networks, understanding new technologies, and build a successful career.
