Quality of Service in MPLS Networks

Tags: qos, mpls, vpn, ip, network, applications

Overview As part of their VPN services, service providers may wish to offer premium services defined by Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to expedite traffic from certain customers or applications. Quality of Service (QoS) in IP networks gives devices the intelligence to preferentially handle traffic as dictated by network policy. QoS mechanisms give network managers the ability to control the mix of bandwidth, delay, jitter, and packet loss in the network. QoS is not a device feature; it is an end-to-end system architecture. A robust QoS solution includes a variety of technologies that interoperate to deliver scalable, media-independent services throughout the network, with system-wide performance-monitoring capabilities.
