Quality of Service

Quality of Service (642-642)

QoS is one of the papers of Cisco Certified Internetwork Professional (CCIP), and then Cisco Certified Voice Professional (CCVP). Current version of CCNP Voice (formerly CCVP) also includes the contents of QoS, but not as a separate paper.

This course gives you the knowledge and skills required to design, implement, and troubleshoot Quality of Service (QoS) on a network. The course addresses the essential QoS technologies and applications for both Service Provider and Enterprise networks.

After Completion:

You'll learn the following:

• Implement different models and mechanisms used for ensuring QoS in a network
• Implement QoS using MQC and AutoQoS
• Classify and Mark network traffic to implement a policy according to QoS requirements
• Use Cisco QoS queuing mechanisms to manage network congestion
• Use Cisco QoS congestion avoidance mechanisms to reduce the effects of congestion on the network
• Use Cisco QoS traffic policing and shaping mechanisms to effectively limit the network traffic
• Use Cisco link efficiency mechanisms to improve the bandwidth efficiency of low speed WAN links
• Select the most appropriate QoS mechanisms for providing QoS using Cisco best practices in service provider and enterprise networks
