Understanding Quality of Service on the Catalyst 6500 Switch

Overview

This paper explains the Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities available in the Catalyst 6500 Switch as it applies to PFC QoS for IPv4 data. This paper does not cover QoS features on the WAN linecards like the FlexWAN, OSM and SIP modules, nor does it cover QoS for MPLS. This paper covers QoS configuration capabilities and provides some examples of QoS implementation.
