Configuring QoS
This chapter describes how to configure quality of service (QoS) by using automatic-QoS (auto-QoS)
commands or by using standard QoS commands. With QoS, you can give preferential treatment to
certain types of traffic at the expense of others. Without QoS, the Cisco Systems Intelligent Gigabit
Ethernet Switch Module offers best-effort service to each packet, regardless of the packet contents or
size. It sends the packets without any assurance of reliability, delay bounds, or throughput.
