Configuring Quality of Service

QoS refers to the ability of a network to provide improved service to selected network traffic over

various underlying technologies including Frame Relay, ATM, Ethernet and 802.1 networks, SONET,

and IP-routed networks. In particular, QoS features provide improved and more predictable network

service by implementing the following services:

• Supporting guaranteed bandwidth

• Improving loss characteristics

• Avoiding and managing network congestion

• Shaping network traffic

• Setting traffic priorities across the network

The following sections describe how to configure Quality of Service on the Cisco MWR 2941:

• Understanding Quality of Service

• Configuring Quality of Service

• Sample Quality of Service Configurations
