Implementing Cisco Quality of Service (QoS) 2.3
Overview/Description
Implementing Cisco Quality of Service (QoS) provides learners
with in-depth knowledge of quality of service (QoS) requirements,
conceptual models such as Best-Effort, Integrated Services
(IntServ), and Differentiated Services (DiffServ), and the
implementation of QoS on Cisco IOS platforms. The curriculum covers
the theory of QoS, design issues, and configuration of various QoS
mechanisms to facilitate the creation of effective QoS
administrative policies. Case studies and lab activities included
in the course help learners apply the concepts that are mastered in
individual modules to real-life scenarios. This course supplies
learners with design and usage rules for various advanced QoS
features and for the integration of QoS with underlying Layer 2 QoS
mechanisms, allowing the learners to design and implement
efficient, optimal, and trouble-free multiservice networks.
Target Audience
This course is recommended for any individual needing to design
and/or implement QoS mechanisms in today's mission critical Cisco
networks. Implementing Cisco QoS is recommended training for
individuals seeking certification as a Cisco Certified Voice
Professional (CCVP), Cisco Certified Internet Professional (CCIP),
and IP Telephony Channels Specialization for organizations.
Additionally, CCIE candidates (R/S, Security, or Voice) can use
this course to prepare themselves for any QoS objectives in the lab
exam.
Prerequisites
Completion of Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices
curriculum or equivalent knowledge and experience, is recommended.
Familiarity with Border Gateway Protocol is also recommended and
assumed in this curriculum.
