Configuring the IPQoS Sample Topology

The tasks in this chapter explain how to create IPQoS configuration files for three IPQoS-enabled systems. These systems are part of the network topology of the company BigISP, which was introduced in Figure 2–4.

• Goldweb – A web server that hosts web sites for customers who have purchased premium-level SLAs.

• Userweb – A less-powerful web server that hosts personal web sites for home users who have purchased “best-effort” SLAs.

• BigAPPS – An application server that serves mail, network news, and FTP to both gold-level and best-effort customers.

The three configuration files illustrate the most common IPQoS configurations. You might use them as templates for your own IPQoS implementation.
