**This is a minor update to QoS 2.2 with no course content changes**
The Implementing Cisco Quality of Service (QoS) v2.3 course provides students with in-depth knowledge of IP QoS requirements, conceptual models using Differentiated Services (DiffServ), Integrated Services (IntServ) and Best Effort (over provisioning), and the implementation of IP QoS on Cisco IOS switch and router platforms.
Target Audience:
Cisco customers, systems engineers, resellers, and network designers who wish to acquire the knowledge and skills required to deploy, manage and configure Quality of Service (QoS) features.
Pre-requisites:
Completion of Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices (ICND) or Cisco Certified Networking Associate (CCNA).
At Course Completion:
Identify the components of the Cisco Unity system, describe their standard and optional features, and explain and how they integrate into a unified messaging system
Explain the need to implement Quality of Service (QoS) and explain methods for implementing and managing QoS
Identify and describe different models used for ensuring QoS in a network and explain key IP QoS mechanisms used to implement the models
Explain the use of MQC and AutoQoS to implement QoS on the network
Use Cisco QoS queuing mechanisms to manage network congestion
Use Cisco QoS congestion avoidance mechanisms to reduce the effects of congestion on the network
Use Cisco QoS traffic policing and traffic shaping mechanisms to effectively limit the rate of network traffic
Successfully use Cisco link efficiency mechanisms to improve the bandwidth efficiency of the link
Correctly select the most appropriate QoS mechanisms for providing QoS using Cisco best practices
