IP Communications: Implementing Quality of Service (QoS) (4 day)

Course Overview

This four-day instructor led course describes the need for QoS mechanisms in IP networks. It describes the two conceptual QoS models (Integrated Services and Differentiated Services), basic technologies, Classification and Marking, Queuing Mechanisms, Traffic Shaping and Policing, Congestion Avoidance, Link Efficiency, Signalling Mechanisms, MQC, and IP over ATM. The course focuses on the DiffServ model.

Audience

This course is intended for pre and post-sales technical engineers responsible for designing, implementing, and/or troubleshooting QoS on a network. Also, those individuals that are working toward their CCIP certification

Skills Gained

Upon completion of this course, the delegate will be able to:

• Describe the need for QoS mechanisms in IP networks.
• Describe the two conceptual QoS models Integrated Services and Differentiated Services.
• Describe the building blocks of IP QoS mechanisms available in the Cisco IOS.
• Describe the mechanisms that can be used to classify and mark IP packets.
• Describe and configure the queuing mechanisms that can be used on output interface.
• Describe the two options for limiting bandwidth available to traffic classes.
• Configure mechanisms that support traffic shaping and policing.
• Describe the problems of congested networks and associated congestion avoidance mechanisms.
• Configure congestion avoidance mechanisms.
• Describe and configure alternative approaches to handle congested links.
• Describe and configure RSVP as the signaling mechanism used in QoS enabled networks.
• Describe the classification properties of the Modular QoS CLI (MQC) that provide a new approach to classification for various QoS mechanisms.
• Describe Modular QoS CLI (MQC) service policies.
• Describe the available QoS mechanisms that can be used on ATM interfaces of Cisco routers.
• Describe the available QoS mechanisms that can be used in MPLS-enabled networks.
