Cisco Catalyst(R) QoS

End-to-end QoS deployment techniques for Cisco Catalyst series switches
Examine various QoS components, including congestion management, congestion avoidance, shaping, policing/admission control, signaling, link efficiency mechanisms, and classification and marking
Map specified class of service (CoS) values to various queues and maintain CoS values through the use of 802.1q tagging on the Cisco Catalyst 2900XL, 3500XL and Catalyst 4000 and 2948G/2980G CatOS Family of Switches
Learn about classification and rewrite capabilities and queue scheduling on the Cisco Catalyst 5000
Implement ACLs, ACPs, ACEs, and low-latency queuing on the Cisco Catalyst 2950 and 3550 Family of Switches
Understand classification, policying, and scheduling capabilities of the Catalyst 4000 and 4500 IOS Family of Switches
Configure QoS in both Hybrid and Native mode on the Catalyst 6500 Family of Switches
Utilize Layer 3 QoS to classify varying levels of service with the Catalyst 6500 MSFC and Flexwan
Understand how to apply QoS in campus network designs by examining end-to-end case studies
Quality of service (QoS) is the set of techniques designed to manage network resources. QoS refers to the capability of a network to provide better service to selected network traffic over various LAN and WAN technologies. The primary goal of QoS is to provide flow priority, including dedicated bandwidth, controlled jitter and latency (required by some interactive and delay-sensitive traffic), and improved loss characteristics.
While QoS has become an essential technology for those organizations rolling out a new generation of network applications such as real-time voice communications and high-quality video delivery, most of the literature available on this foundation technology for current and future business applications focuses on IP QoS. Equally important is the application of QoS in the campus LAN environment, which is primarily responsible for delivering traffic to the desktop.
