This course is designed for:

• Network designers and engineers responsible for implementation and management of IP QoS and students seeking Cisco CCIP & CCVP Certification.

Upon completing this course, the learner will be able to meet these overall objectives:

• Explain the need to implement QoS and explain methods for implementing and managing QoS
• Identify and describe different models used for ensuring QoS in a network and explain key IP QoS mechanisms used to implement these models
• Explain the use of MQC and AutoQoS to implement QoS on the network.
• Classify and Mark network traffic in order to implement a defined QoS Policy
• Use Cisco queuing mechanisms to manage network congestion
• Use Cisco QoS congestion avoidance mechanisms to reduce the effects of congestion on the network.
• Use Cisco QoS traffic policing and traffic shaping mechanisms to effectively limit the rate of network traffic.
