WHAT IS QOS?
Quality of Service or QoS is a method of providing better service for selected traffic types over various types of packet-switched networks. The network medium used could be any one of several types of technology ranging from Ethernet to Wireless and Frame Relay networks. QoS provides a method for determining which traffic should be given priority on a network segment
INTRODUCTION
There are two primary drives behind the need for QoS policies. Convergence of Voice Video and Data Networks Differentiation between Data Applications Other reasons to use QOS: Stop sync. your employees from bugging you: My applications are sometimes slow. My video stream is jerky and the voice is out of
My voice calls sound bad at times. Blocking unwanted traffic such as P2P sharing, social network in totalities reigns. Security reason finding imposters programs on your network.
Functions of QoS
Predictable Response times Management of delay sensitive applications Management of jitter sensitive applications Control of packet loss when congestion occurs during a burst (note that continuous congestion means that the link is over-subscribed) The setting of traffic priorities. Dedication of bandwidth on a per application basis. The avoidance of congestion The management of congestion when it occurs, note that this is different from trying to avoid congestion, sometimes it is not possible to avoid congestion.
requested level of service by an application to a network. Data is only sent after confirmation that the service level is guaranteed to be available. (RSVP)
