<h1 class="topictitle1">Plan for QoS</h1>

<div><p>The most important step to accomplishing quality of service (QoS)
|
||
|
|
is planning. To receive expected results, you must review your network equipment
|
||
|
|
and monitor network traffic.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>This topic also includes a planning advisor. The QoS planning
|
||
|
|
advisor leads you through the basic questions you need to ask yourself during
|
||
|
|
the planning phase. In addition to the advisor, consider these subtopics before
|
||
|
|
configuring QoS.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Consider network performance</h4><p>QoS is all about network
|
||
|
|
performance. The main reason you are considering QoS is probably because you
|
||
|
|
are already experiencing network congestion and packet loss. Before you carry
|
||
|
|
out any policies, you might want to use the QoS monitor to verify your IP
|
||
|
|
traffic's current performance levels. These results can help you determine
|
||
|
|
where congestion is occurring.</p>
