QoS Flashcards
Control Plane Policing (CPP)
-QoS filter to manage traffic flow of control plane packets
-Protect control plane of Cisco iOS devices from DoS and recon attacks
Quality of Service (QoS)
*Enables optimization of network based on traffic type
*Forwards traffic
- priority markings
- traffic type (voice, files transfer, video…)
*Categorize traffic
*Apply a policy
Best Effort - No QoS
First in first out
Integrated Services (IntServ) - Hard QoS
Strict bandwidth reservations
Differentiated Services (DiffServ) - Soft QoS
-Network devices make decisions based on markings and fluctuate traffic
-Differentiation of data types
Marking (QoS)
-Alters bits in PDU
-Indicates handling of traffic (QoS)
Classification (QoS)
Traffic is placed into different categories (QoS)
Congestion Management
(QoS)
-Determines the order packets are sent out
-Queues/Buffers traffic
Congestion Avoidance
(QoS)
Discards packets if device’s output queue at capacity (QoS)
Policing
(QoS)
Discards packets exceeding configured rate limit
(Speed limit)
Shaping
(QoS)
Buffer delays traffic from exceeding configured rate (QoS)
Link Efficiency: Compression (QoS)
-Packet Payload is compressed
-Conserve bandwidth
(QoS)
Link Efficiency: Link Fragmentation and Interleaving (LFI) (QoS)
Fragments large data packets and interleaves smaller data packets between the fragmented packets
What layer dose QoS operate at?
Layer 2 and 3
