Network QoS

Network QoS

Network QoS parameters:
Delay
Packet Loss
Jitter
Packet Sequencing
Bit error rate
Voice/Video Quality
Network Emulators can help determine the Network Quality of Service (QoS) that is required in order to run your business.

Quality of Service is the concept that data rates, errors and other network characteristics can be measured, improved upon, and guaranteed. Collectively these metrics are known as Quality of Service (QoS) parameters. Network managers and providers must ensure the proper QoS is in place to ensure network-centric applications run properly. QoS also allows a network to provide better service to selected network traffic, by prioritizing certain types of traffic over others.

Network QoS is often specified by Service Level Agreements (SLAs), which exists between the network manager or provider and the end-user, covering items such as data reliability, availability, latency, throughput and security.

“How do I emulate different network SLAs to determine if they will provide the Network QoS that meets my business needs?”
When it comes to SLAs and Network QoS, it’s all about network performance. Performance of mission critical enterprise applications, and performance of network intensive applications such as VOIP, Video over IP, streaming media and VPNs.

For the Enterprise User .. you must ensure that your network performance is sufficient for your business requirements and determine the required SLA for acceptable application performance.
For the Equipment or Solution Provider .. you need confidence that you can deliver Network QoS to your customers! Network QoS is essential for providing new services and applications to your customers and avoiding SLA penalties.

Anue Network Emulators help you do this. With the Anue Network Emulator, you can specify the exact level of errors, delay and other impairments to inject into network traffic. By running your critical enterprise applications in this type of “emulated” environment, you can determine what SLA you must establish and maintain based on performance and availability.

With Anue Network Emulators, you can emulate QoS and SLA parameters in a lab environment - accurately, repeatedly and efficiently – in order to:

Determine which QoS class of service is best suited for your network applications.

Assess the sensitivity of your applications to traditional QoS parameters such as bandwidth, packet loss, delay, and jitter.
Emulate various SLAs to ensure that your QoS requirements are being met and that you are not “overengineering your network” and paying for a higher level of service than you need.
Determine how your network and network devices will perform when QoS is not occurring in the network.

Enable rapid troubleshooting of network performance bottlenecks.
Conduct effective capacity planning by understanding end-to-end performance of critical applications under various network impairment scenarios.
