What is the Quality of Service Toolset?
Figure 1-18 Quality of Service Management Cycle
Short-term monitoring is useful for verifying that the deployed QoS policies are having the desired
end-to-end effect. Long-term monitoring, or trending, is needed to determine whether the provisioned
bandwidth is still adequate for changing needs. For example, upgrading to a newer version of an
application may cause the provisioned bandwidth to be exceeded (as would the addition of new users).
Furthermore, business objective themselves may change, and periodically the overall ranking of priority
of applications may need revision.
Monitoring and adapting QoS policies to such business changes is efficiently done through QoS
Management solutions.
