Implementing Cisco Quality of Service
This five-day course is designed to provide students with in-depth knowledge of IP QOS requirements, conceptual models such as Best Effort, Integrated Services and Differentiated Services, and the implementation of IP QOS on Cisco IOS platforms. Case studies and lab exercises included in the course help students to apply the concepts mastered in individual modules to real-life scenarios.
The course also gives students design and usage rules for various advanced IP QoS features and the integration of IP QoS with underlying Layer 2 QoS mechanisms, allowing them to design and implement efficient, optimized, and trouble-free multi-service networks.
