Implementing Cisco Quality of Service (QOS) v3.0

– • Explain the need for QoS, describe the fundamentals of QoS policy, and identify and describe the different models that are used for ensuring QoS in a network.
– • Explain the use of MQC and AutoQoS to implement QoS on the network and describe some of the mechanisms used to monitor QoS implementations.
– • Given a converged network and a policy defining QoS on the network, describe some of the mechanisms used to monitor QoS implementations.
– • Use Cisco QoS queuing mechanisms to manage network congestion.
– • Use Cisco QoS congestion avoidance mechanisms to reduce the effects of congestion on the network.
– • Describe how link efficiency mechanisms can be used collectively to improve bandwidth efficiency and reduce delay.
– • Describe the need for wireless QoS in WLANs due to the expansion of high-bandwidth data applications and time-sensitive multimedia applications in vertical and enterprise environments, and the need for a unified approach to support multi-vendor time-sensitive applications and accelerate the adoption rate of QoS.
– • Describe the need for QoS in modern Software-Defined Networks (SDN) for ensuring reliable performance of crucial applications and services.
– • Describe the steps and best practices for optimally deploying QoS and understand the network elements involved in an enterprise end-to-end QoS deployment, as well as the importance of QoS interaction between the enterprise and service provider networks.
