Chapter 3 QoS in an AVVID-Enabled Campus Network
QoS Toolset
Figure 3-4
illustrates the placement of separate TX buffers. As the transmit queues begin to fill, traffic
is dropped from the non-mission-critical buffer first. This protects voice, video, and mission-critical data
from packet loss.

Using Separate TX Buffers
QoS Toolset
The challenges of loss, delay, and delay variation can be addressed through the application of various
QoS tools.
This section provides information about the use of QoS tools in a campus environment. For general
information about the QoS Toolset, see the
"What is the Quality of Service Toolset?" section on
page 1-12
.
Classification
Within a campus AVVID network, you should classify voice and video bearer traffic, signaling traffic,
and mission-critical data traffic.
For general recommendations for classification, see
"Classification Recommendations" section on
