Overview/Description
Implementing Cisco Quality of Service (QoS) provides learners with in-depth knowledge of quality of service (QoS) requirements, conceptual models such as Best-Effort, Integrated Services (IntServ), and Differentiated Services (DiffServ), and the implementation of QoS on Cisco IOS platforms. The curriculum covers the theory of QoS, design issues, and configuration of various QoS mechanisms to facilitate the creation of effective QoS administrative policies. Case studies and lab activities included in the course help learners apply the concepts that are mastered in individual modules to real-life scenarios. This course supplies learners with design and usage rules for various advanced QoS features and for the integration of QoS with underlying Layer 2 QoS mechanisms, allowing the learners to design and implement efficient, optimal, and trouble-free multiservice networks.

Target Audience
This course is recommended for any individual needing to design and/or implement QoS mechanisms in today’s mission critical Cisco networks. Implementing Cisco QoS is recommended training for individuals seeking certification as a Cisco Certified Voice Professional (CCVP), Cisco Certified Internet Professional (CCIP), and IP Telephony Channels Specialization for organizations. Additionally, CCIE candidates (R/S, Security, or Voice) can use this course to prepare themselves for any QoS objectives in the lab exam.

Prerequisites
Completion of Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices curriculum or equivalent knowledge and experience, is recommended. Familiarity with Border Gateway Protocol is also recommended and assumed in this curriculum.

Certification
CCVP, CCIP
