Chapter 1

IP Quality of Service (IPQoS) enables you to prioritize, control, and gather accounting statistics. Using IPQoS, you can provide consistent levels of service to users of your network. You can also manage traffic to avoid network congestion.

This chapter covers the following topics:

IPQoS Basics
Providing Quality of Service With IPQoS
Improving Network Efficiency With IPQoS
Differentiated Services Model
Traffic Forwarding on an IPQoS-Enabled Network

Note - The IPQoS facility might be removed in a future release. You are encouraged instead to use the dladm, flowadm, and related commands, which support similar bandwidth resource control features.
