QoS
Quality of service (QoS) is used to optimize network traffic management in order to improve the user's
experience. QoS is a defined measure of performance in a communication network. It prioritizes one type of
transmission over another. QoS increases the network's ability to achieve bandwidth and deal with other
network performance elements such as latency, error rate and uptime.
QoS also involves controlling and managing network resources by setting priorities for specific type of data
(video, audio, files) on the network. It is exclusively applied to network traffic generated for video on demand,
IPTV, VoIP, streaming media, videoconferencing and on-line gaming.
This section describes the device's QoS features and contains the following topics:
• Traffic Classes, on page 109
• WAN Queuing, on page 110
• WAN Policing, on page 111
• WAN Bandwidth Management, on page 112
• Switch Classification, on page 112
• Switch Queuing, on page 113
