Most 'data' network infrastructures are based on a concept of 'fairness' - traffic traverses the network freely, without regard to traffic type or to priority. QoS is not a standard, but defines an objective to create 'Quality' voice and video communications using standards. Using standards to prioritize one traffic type over another creates an 'unfair' network, seeing priority policies action upon congestion and other 'Quality' affecting instances.

There are two effective methodologies when addressing QoS:

• Integrated Services (IntServ) - working with the network to define qos requirements and policies
• Differentiated Services (DiffServ) - configuring the network to define qos requirements and policies

To learn about the differences between these methodologies, detail, issues and the wider 'Quality' affects to real time media and services, please download our QoS White Paper by clicking HERE or the above link.
