Quality of Service

Quality of Service features allow you to allocate network resources to mission-critical applica-
tions at the expense of applications that are less sensitive to such factors as time delays or net-
work congestion. You can configure your network to prioritize specific types of traffic,
ensuring that each type receives the appropriate Quality of Service (QoS) level.
