Deploying QoS in a network
Figure 2 Position of the QoS techniques in a network
As shown in Figure 2 , traffic classification and traffic policing mainly implement the following
functions:
•
Traffic classification
—Uses match criteria to assign packets with the same characteristics to
a traffic class. Based on traffic classes, you can provide differentiated services.
•
Traffic policing
—Polices flows and imposes penalties to prevent aggressive use of network
resources. You can apply traffic policing to both incoming and outgoing traffic of a port.

Figure 3 briefly describes how the QoS module processes traffic.
1.
Traffic classifier identifies and classifies traffic for subsequent QoS actions.
2.
The QoS module takes various QoS actions on classified traffic as configured, depending on
the traffic processing phase and network status. For example, you can configure the QoS
module to perform traffic policing for incoming traffic.
