IP QoS Training Course Description

IP QoS training describes policy-based QoS architecture which supports infrastructure for delivering QoS based applications. Finally, the course introduces some emerging trends in IP QoS.It explains the techniques, principles and technology associated with implementing IP Quality of Service (QoS). The IETF’s Integrated Services standard and accompanying protocols such as RSVP, RTP and RTCP are described, and how RSVP, DiffServ is used as a QoS signaling protocol to request a certain QoS is covered.

This course describes the IETF’s Integrated and  Differentiated Services standard and how it can be used to provide QoS on a per-hop basis, and explains how IntServ and DiffServ are used to provide IP QoS support in routers. MPLS, MPLS-TE, RSVP-TE and GMPLS can be used to improve forwarding efficiency and source based routing and provide a basis for good QoS support is described. This course also explains how IPv6 and class-based queuing all help to provide IP QoS.
