Deploying QoS in a network Figure 2 Position of the QoS techniques in a network As shown in Figure 2, traffic classification, traffic shaping, traffic policing, congestion management, and congestion avoidance mainly implement the following functions: • Traffic classification-Uses certain match criteria to assign packets with the same characteristics to a traffic class. Based on traffic classes, you can provide differentiated services. • Traffic policing-Polices flows entering or leaving a device, and imposes penalties on traffic flows to prevent aggressive use of network resources. You can apply traffic policing to both incoming and outgoing traffic of a port. • Traffic shaping-Proactively adapts the output rate of traffic to the network resources available on the downstream device to eliminate packet drops. Traffic shaping usually applies to the outgoing traffic of a port. • Congestion management-Provides a resource scheduling policy to determine the packet forwarding sequence when congestion occurs. Congestion management usually applies to the outgoing traffic of a port. • Congestion avoidance-Monitors the network resource usage, and is usually applied to the outgoing traffic of a port. When congestion worsens, congestion avoidance reduces the queue length by dropping packets. 15

All QoS techniques in this document are based on the DiffServ model.
QoS techniques overview
The QoS techniques include traffic classification, traffic policing, traffic shaping, rate limit, congestion
management, and congestion avoidance. The following section briefly introduces these QoS techniques.

As shown in

, traffic classification, traffic shaping, traffic policing, congestion management, and
congestion avoidance mainly implement the following functions:
•
Traffic classification
—Uses certain match criteria to assign packets with the same characteristics to
a traffic class. Based on traffic classes, you can provide differentiated services.
•
Traffic policing
—Polices flows entering or leaving a device, and imposes penalties on traffic flows
to prevent aggressive use of network resources. You can apply traffic policing to both incoming and
outgoing traffic of a port.
•
Traffic shaping
—Proactively adapts the output rate of traffic to the network resources available on
the downstream device to eliminate packet drops. Traffic shaping usually applies to the outgoing
traffic of a port.
•
Congestion management
—Provides a resource scheduling policy to determine the packet
forwarding sequence when congestion occurs. Congestion management usually applies to the
outgoing traffic of a port.
•
Congestion avoidance
—Monitors the network resource usage, and is usually applied to the
outgoing traffic of a port. When congestion worsens, congestion avoidance reduces the queue
length by dropping packets.
