Quality of Service Flashcards
Allows the network administrator to prioritize certain types of traffic over others
Quality of Service
What type of traffic and voice traffic require greater resources, such as bandwidth, from the network than other types of traffic?
Video and Voice traffic
What transactions is time sensitive and have greater needs than as FTP transfer or web traffic(HTTP)
Financial traffics
What are the 3 types of priority queues ?
High priority queue
Medium priority queue
Low priority queue
When should a device implement QoS?
During congestion
Examples of congestion points
aggregation, speed mismatch, LANs to WAN
Without QoS mechanisms, What happens when a router receives a digital audio stream for VoIP ?
Compensation for the jitter that is encountered
Features of traffic
- Less resources used
- Fairly steady and not very large
- Requires at least 20 kbps of bandwidth with no more than 1% packet loss
Voice packets
Features of Traffic
- More demanding
- Bursty and greedy
- Consume lots of resources
- Requires at least 384 kbps in bandwidth , 0.1 < 1 % packet loss
Video Traffic
One way requirement for voice traffic - latency, jitter, loss
150 ms, 30 ms, 1%
Disadvantages of voice traffic
very sensitive to delay and dropped packets
One way requirements for video traffic - latency, jitter, loss, bandwidth
L - <=200 - 400 ms
J - <= 30 – 50ms
L - <= 0.1 – 1%
BW - (384 Kb/s – 20+ Mb/s)
What traffic that uses TCP to performs error recovery
Data traffic
Factors to consider for data delay
Does the data come from an interactive application?
Is the data mission critical?
4 types of algorithm types for queueing
FIFO
Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ)
Class-based WFQ (CBWFQ)
Low latency Queuing ( LLQ)
