Quality of Service I ( QoS, Models, Methods )

What is QoS?

http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Quality_of_Service_Networking
Quality of life insurance
The ability to dictate traffic treatment
- Prioritization.
  - Only happens with congestion.
- Shaping / Policing.
  - Shaping: Mold the traffic down to a specific speed.
  - Policing: ‘evil’ traffic types ( p2p / video ).
- Advanced Strategies ( WRED – Weighted random early detection)
  - Drop selective TCP streams so it won’t hit max.
Strategies to fight the enemy
- Delay ( how long it takes for a Packet A to get to the other side).
- Jitter ( Delay variation, Times between Packets A,Packet B,and Packet C taking to get to the other side)
- Packetloss
