Quality of Service (QoS) Support
The WS-C3750X-24T-E Cisco Catalyst 3750X switch supports Quality of Service (QoS) which is a set of technologies and techniques used to manage and prioritize network traffic. QoS helps to ensure that critical traffic, such as voice and video, is given priority over less critical traffic, such as file transfers or email, to provide a better user experience.
The switch supports a variety of QoS features including:
- Class-Based Weighted Fair Queuing (CBWFQ) which allows you to assign different levels of priority to different types of traffic
- Low Latency Queuing (LLQ) which gives priority to delay-sensitive traffic such as voice and video
- Modular Quality of Service Command-Line Interface (MQC) which allows you to configure QoS policies using a simple command-line interface
- Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) which helps prevent network congestion by randomly dropping less important packets when the network is overloaded.
The switch also supports advanced QoS features such as:
- Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) and Internet Protocol (IP) precedence-based marking, policing, and shaping
- Layer 2 and Layer 3 marking and policing
- Link fragmentation and interleaving (LFI) for T1/E1 and T3/E3 serial links
- MPLS QoS
These features allow network administrators to configure and enforce policies that ensure that mission-critical applications receive the network resources they require, while also providing a high level of network utilization.
