Scenario details: Use the monitor to verify your policy is working

To verify that the policy is working as you configured it to work, do the following steps:
  1. On the quality of service (QoS) Server Configuration window, select Server > Monitor. The QoS Monitor window appears.
  2. Select the IntServ policy type folder. This will display all the IntServ policies.

    The most interesting fields are the measured fields that obtain their data from your traffic. These fields include the bits total, bits in-profile, and packets in-profile. Bits out-of-profile indicates that other traffic is getting delayed or dropped to satisfy this integrated service policy requirements. See the Monitor QoS section for a description of all the monitor fields.

    Note: Remember that the results will only be accurate when the policy is active. Verify the schedule you specified within the policy. Also, the monitor only shows IntServ policies after the applications are running. A ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP) reservation has to be established before monitoring.
