●
Shaped Round Robin (SRR) scheduling helps ensure differential prioritization of packet flows by intelligently
servicing the ingress queues and egress queues.
●
Weighted Tail Drop (WTD) provides congestion avoidance at the ingress and egress queues before a
disruption occurs.
●
Strict priority queuing helps ensure that the highest-priority packets are serviced ahead of all other traffic.
●
The Cisco committed information rate (CIR) function provides bandwidth in increments as low as 8 Kbps.
●
Rate limiting is provided based on source and destination IP address, source and destination MAC address,
Layer 4 TCP/UDP information, or any combination of these fields, using QoS ACLs (IP ACLs or MAC ACLs),
class maps, and policy maps.
●
Up to 64 aggregate or individual policers are available per Fast Ethernet or GbE port.
Location Awareness and Mobility
In order to provide delivery of a best-in-class network experience to end users, it’s critical for network access to be
location aware. A wide variety of devices can appear on the network, both wired (switches, routers, IP phones, PCs,
access points, controllers, video digital media players, and so on) and wireless (mobile devices, wireless tags,
rogues, and so on). In many industries, locating assets is primarily a manual process and is time consuming and
error prone. The inability to locate assets in real time and to help ensure their availability when and where they are
needed limits reaction time and efficiency.
Location services answer business-critical questions about both mobile assets and the users of those assets
regardless of whether those assets are connecting using wired or wireless, and hence directly improve their
organization's profitability. Network Location Services also improve security and accelerate client troubleshooting by
locating an asset, user, or device on the network.
●
Network visibility and control provide centralized visibility into wired and wireless devices on the network and
their location.
●
Location-assisted client troubleshooting enables tracking of wired or wireless clients for quick problem
resolution.
●
Asset tracking and improved security provide centralized inventory of wired and wireless devices and asset
management for improved business processes.
●
Cisco Mobility Service Engine (MSE) Open API provides an open API (based on Simple Object Access
Protocol [SOAP] and XML protocol) for any business application that needs the location data.
●
Location based policy allows greater control and visibility. With EnergyWise, power policies can be set up (to
reduce the power or shut down the power from a port) based on the location.
●
Cisco Emergency Responder (CER) enhances emergency calling from Cisco Unified CallManager. It helps
assure that Cisco Unified CallManager sends emergency calls to the appropriate Public Safety Answering
Point (PSAP) for the caller's location.
