Quality of service – technology and implementation
Abstract
This paper discusses various facets of quality of service (QOS), a technology that allows network managers to prioritize data to optimize bandwidth use and maintain data quality. Given the wide variety and high volume of data as well as bandwidth limitations on networks today, QOS has gained great importance in recent years. Successful implementation of QOS requires selecting from the wide array of models and algorithms available and careful consideration of other technical and organizational issues. Different QOS models and algorithms have been discussed to provide the network manager with an insight into these technologies that can aid in the selection of QOS models and algorithms. Various technical and organizational implementation issues, including how QOS is implemented in routers, have been discussed to assist the network manager to be aware of these issues and properly implement QOS.
