Cisco QoS at-a-glance

Stephan, a  colleague of mine,  found the following documents digging through multiple pages of Cisco.com. The documents present a nice view of different QoS approaches and the most  important information. Somehow like “cheatsheets”. They were helpful to us when need to implement QoS in some parts of the network that we administer. I hope they will help you as well.

Maybe you’re wondering why I’m adding them here, since the documents are already somewhere in Cisco.com. As you probably know, Cisco has constantly changing their website in the last months and a lot of documentation is misplaced in the Cisco.com sitemap. We already had problems finding all links, so I said why not share it here as they are already public made by Cisco.

You’ll find a Download button under each document, for PDF version and at the end of this post there is a Link to download all documents in an archive. If somebody needs only one document and has a poor Internet connection why to force them to download the full archive.

As said in the beginning, if you’d prefer, you download all QoS graphs in one archive.

Let me know your opinions on the above approach on QoS from Cisco. Is is accurate? Do you apply them in your organization weather for Campus, WAN, VPN or even Security?
