Planning for an IPQoS-Enabled Network (Tasks)

You can configure IPQoS on any system that runs the Solaris OS. The IPQoS system then works with Diffserv-aware routers to provide differentiated services and traffic management on an intranet.

This chapter contains planning tasks for adding IPQoS-enabled systems onto a Diffserv-aware network. The following topics are covered.

• General IPQoS Configuration Planning (Task Map)

• Planning the Diffserv Network Topology

• Planning the Quality-of-Service Policy

• QoS Policy Planning (Task Map)

• Introducing the IPQoS Configuration Example
