Overview

IP Telephony (VoIP) and converged network architectures have challenged organizations to develop strategies for providing differentiated levels of service to their customers. Many organizations are enabling Quality of Service (QoS) policies across their networks to classify types of traffic, and applying forwarding policies to better manage the flow of traffic for business-critical applications.

The Network QoS Manager solution enables enterprises and service providers to verify and validate the configuration and effectiveness of QoS Policies and Traffic Classes throughout the IT infrastructure.Technology Relationship Mapping and webbased reporting discovers and documents the health and performance for each Class of Service configured across the network. Patented analytics intelligently integrate and automate modeling of your QoS Policies and Traffic Classes to deliver root cause analysis and impact prioritization. The solution presents a unified view of your QoS-enabled infrastructure with an easy-to-use explorer/navigator so you can drill down to access device- and port-level information associated with a Traffic Class. Network QoS Manager also allows users to view each configured behavior and a complete set of statistics for: Policing, Shaping, Queuing, and RED (Random Early Detect).

Users have access to actionable alarm information when a particular traffic class is experiencing a high rate of packet drops or buffer queuing. A set of “out-of-the-box” report templates are included to view historical traffic statistics as well as TopN reports to highlight potential problem areas on your network.
