Overview

Avaya P550R, P580, P880, and P882 Multiservice Switch User Guide, v5.3.1
80-Series QoS
Quality of Service (QoS) is a set of tools that make it possible for you
to manage traffic across a switch or a network. These tools protect
specific traffic from the effects of network congestion. You can
enable these features for a module or individual ports on a module
to control the flow of traffic across your network. This control makes
it possible for you to guarantee that delay-sensitive traffic such as
voice over IP (VoIP) receives the priority it requires, while also
ensuring that the switch services other low priority data.
The QoS features are supported only on 80-series modules. Fifty-
series modules do not support these features.
This chapter contains the following sections:
"Why implement QoS?"
"How Does QoS Work?"
"Classification of Traffic"
"Ingress Policing"
"Queue-Servicing Algorithms"
"QoS Statistics"
* Note: In this release, you can configure the QoS features only
by using the CLI or Avaya Policy Manager Version 2.2.
These features are not available in the Web Agent or
SNMP.
