Study Notes
Network Quality of Service (QoS)
- Jitter is the term used to indicate a variation of delay.
- Latency is the time it takes for a packet to travel from a source to a destination device and return.
IntServ QoS Model
- Network devices play a crucial role in ensuring that resources are available before traffic is allowed to be sent by a host through the network.
- IntServ QoS model is very resource-intensive and provides the highest guarantee of QoS.
- When an edge router using IntServ QoS determines that the data pathway cannot support the level of QoS requested, data is not forwarded along the pathway.
Network Devices and Traffic
- IP phones are classified as trusted endpoints.
- Network devices drop arriving packets when their memory queue fills up and new network traffic is received.
- Voice traffic is delay-sensitive and consumes few network resources.
Traffic Classification and Queuing
- Best-effort is the only QoS model with no mechanism to classify packets.
- Cisco recommends placing voice traffic in the strict priority queue (PQ) when low latency queuing (LLQ) is being used.
- CBWFQ is a queuing mechanism that supports user-defined traffic classes.
- Voice traffic is commonly provided the most preferential treatment over all other application traffic.
Traffic Congestion and Jitter
- Congestion occurs on a converged network with voice, video, and data traffic when the request for bandwidth exceeds the available bandwidth.
- Jitter is compensated for in an audio stream by using a playout delay buffer, which buffers packets and then replays them outbound in a steady stream.
