Chapter 12. Quality of Service
Quality
of
Service
(QoS)
features
allow
you
to
allocate
network
resources
to
mission
‐
critical
applications
at
the
expense
of
applications
that
are
less
sensitive
to
such
factors
as
time
delays
or
network
congestion.
You
can
configure
your
network
to
prioritize
specific
types
of
traffic,
ensuring
that
each
type
receives
the
appropriate
QoS
level.
The
following
topics
are
discussed
in
this
section:
QoS Overview
QoS
helps
you
allocate
guaranteed
bandwidth
to
critical
applications,
and
limit
bandwidth
for
less
critical
applications.
Applications
such
as
video
and
voice
must
have
a
certain
amount
of
bandwidth
to
work
correctly;
using
QoS,
you
can
provide
that
bandwidth
when
necessary.
Also,
you
can
put
a
high
priority
on
applications
that
are
sensitive
to
timing
out
or
those
that
cannot
tolerate
delay,
assigning
that
traffic
to
a
high
‐
priority
queue.
By
assigning
QoS
levels
to
traffic
flows
on
your
network,
you
can
ensure
that
network
resources
are
allocated
where
they
are
needed
most.
QoS
features
allow
you
to
prioritize
network
traffic,
thereby
providing
better
service
for
selected
applications.

QoS
Model
The
CN4093
uses
the
Differentiated
Services
(DiffServ)
architecture
to
provide
QoS
functions.
DiffServ
is
described
in
IETF
RFC
2474
and
RFC
2475.
With
DiffServ,
you
can
establish
policies
for
directing
traffic.
A
policy
is
a
traffic
‐
controlling
mechanism
that
monitors
the
characteristics
of
the
traffic
(for
example,
its
source,
destination,
and
protocol)
and
performs
a
controlling
action
on
the
traffic
when
certain
characteristics
are
matched.
